So im a teenager who was recently flagged over for "speed racing". i was in an area i was unfamiliar with due to getting a call from someone and needing to pull over. after my call, i started driving again and realized that i was lost. i was driving is a quiet residential area and found a small side street to turn around in.
I drive a 1990 Honda accord that's bone-stock with a manual transmission. i just cleaned and shined my recently replaced tires. as i was turning around my tires squealed a bit and i accelerated in 1 gear for roughly 3 seconds when i see a cop standing in the middle of the street waving me over to the side of the road. i roll down my window and give him my information. he's yelling at me for "burning out" and said that i was going at least 45 mph in a 25. i got a $435 ticket for "speed racing".
how can i fight this because its physically impossible for my car to go that fast in 3 seconds. plus he didn't have me on radar or a dash cam until i was pulled over and he had my information (he took it and went to his car and pulled behind me). i was completely respectful and he was yelling at me for "burning out" and "going at least 45 mph" until he was on camera. I 1, didnt know what the speed limit was and 2, wasnt going 45 however i may have been going 30-35 i really dont know. any advice because i really need help getting this ticket reduced.
i haven't sent in my ticket but the court date is the 31st of march
