Sure you can fight the speeding ticket, but it doesn't look good for you. It will go something like this:

Judge: How do you plead?
You: Not guilty, I wasn't speeding.
Cop: Got him on radar doing 65 in a 40.
Judge: Your fine is ____, pay the clerk.

Good you got 3 tickets. Now you have something to work with. Call the prosecutor's office before the court date. They will meet you at the court and cut a deal on the 2 non moving offenses and they should drop the speeding. maybe offer to take a safety course.

I got pulled over cause I was "Speeding". Cop said I was goin 65 on a 40 I know I wasnt but did not make a big deal about it. I was hoping he'd give me theticket and let me get goin nut he ran the vin and my registration came up as expired. I was not using my bike for the winter so I did not renew the registration, but as luck would have it I decided to take a stroll on a good sunny day and they pulled me over. The cop kept haggling me asking me if I was drinking and if I smoked weed. I said no and I dont do drugs. Gave me a lot of crap about my non DOT Helmet and my Modified Pipes and even my saddle bags?!?!??Gave me a ticket for

No Plates
No Registration, expired registration
Speeding

Can he impound my bike? Can I fight the speeding tix? Help!!!

I got my bike back the next day Had to pay 260.00 for Rgistration and 170.00 for release form and 107.00at the impound lot.

It looks like you're getting the same feedback on both threads, you might want to start a third one.

No Reg.

Are you sure you're not from Haiti driving in S. FL??

I guess starting the same thread twice calls for the same reply twice?

If stupid is a sickness.

Your terminal.

I posted this for help!!!I know I got puled over for having no Plates NOT for Speeding.
Ok, so let me get this straight... you got pulled over,

I got pulled over cause I was "Speeding". Cop said I was goin 65 on a 40 I know I wasnt but did not make a big deal about it. I was hoping he'd give me theticket and let me get goin nut he ran the vin and my registration came up as expired.

they found out you had expired tags, and you expected them to just let you ride off into the sunset?

Put yourself in the cops place. If he let you ride off into the sunset, without plates, how does he know that you're gonna get it fixed? If you promise to not ride the bike, will you let it stay here until you get a valid tag? Yeah, RIGHT!!!

Be happy you weren't doing 66 MPH. In CA anything over 25 MPH over the speed limit is also Reckless driving
