Should I fight this ticket?

[delton]

In Pennsylvania I was pulled over for going 41 in a 25 MPH zone. The officer clocked me using an Accutrak device over .017 miles in 1.47 seconds. The thing is I was the third car in a line of cars that were all giong to same speed so technically I was going with the flow of traffic granted we were all speeding but I was the only one who ended up getting pulled over. The ticket is not too expensive but I do not think it is fair to be the only one that gets pulled over out of a group of three cars that were all going the same speed. Any advice if it is worth trying to fight the ticket? Thanks

Accutrak is a type of VASCAR, which is a computer used to calculate speed based on the officer's input. It is capable of singling a car out of a crowd. You may have been going a similar speed, but it is possible he clocked all 3 and you were slightly faster.

Regardless, the fact someone else was doing the same thing is not a valid defense. Unless you have some other argument, it is not likely you will be successful.

unfair maybe, but you admitted you were speeding. what's your defense, everyone else was also speeding? it's almost impossible to get out of a speeding ticket, you have no chance of fighting it, pay it.
