Hi guys! I need advice on what i need to do in order to fight a speeding ticket by trial by declaration. I am in california, and I was pulled over recently for going 79 in a 65. However, I do not believe I was going that speed. I believe I was going about 75, which I do not believe is worthy of getting pulled over, nor getting a ticket. It was very late, and I had been driving for over 6 hours. I was driving with the speed of traffic, when I noticed lights behind me. I pulled over off the nearest exist. When the officer came to my window, I asked why I was pulled over, and he said I was speeding and going between 80-84 mph. When, I asked to see the radar he said yes. He then went back to his car, and came back to my window and performed a dui eye test on me, which I passed. He then went back to his car, and yet this time his partner came to my window and told me that they did not get me on radar and intact they tailed me, and he started to describe how they knew i was speeding. (different story than original officer). I then asked what my options were, as I did not believe i was going 80-84. He said that I had to sign the ticket, I signed the ticket and told him I would see him in court because I would be fighting the ticket. We went our separate ways and i finally looked at my ticket, and he wrote 79. A different number than he originally told me.
What is the best language to use when telling my side of the story.
I am located in ventura county, CA and its code vc22349(a)
