I received a reckless driving ticket for doing 83mph in a 65mph zone while driving on I-81 south. I was on a motorcycle in the middle of a pack of four bikes following two cars, all of us going the same speed, and the state cop pulled me over??? I asked him why he would pick me out of the middle of the pack, and he said that the laser locked on me. I am scheduled to go to court next week. Does this seem possible for him to lock on me, and can I at least get this reduced to a speeding violation instead of reckless????????
Thank you for your advice.
The laser is very accurate and pins down a specific vehicle. You were just unlucky enough to get snagged, even though you were planning on the safety of numbers. An officer can only do so much when there are a number of vehicles speeding.
ask a lawyer. the cops can sit a block away and gauge your speed on how fast you come up to a stop sign and give you a ticket. (happened to my son) you will need a lawyer to negotiate your case for a lesser charge. good luck to you.
