I just received a speeding ticket in NY state by an NY state trooper.
Technically, I was speeding but so was everyone else. I was not going
faster than anyone else on the highway. I think I was just guilty of
driving in the passing lane -- I was an easy target.
Is this contestable? Also, I live an hour away from where I got the ticket
and getting to the court house will be a pain in the butt. Can I go through
the entire process by mail or will there be sometime that I need to show up
in court?
Thanks in advance.

New York speed limit laws are confusing, with a lot of local detail
mixed up in them, but in general New York speed limits are maximum
speeds: a defense that it was safe, or others were driving as fast,
can't be used. More than 10-over carries a theoretical risk of jail
time; more than 30-over is serious and worth seeing a lawyer about.
Lots of people on rec.autos.driving have had varied success in
defending New York tickets; you could ask there.

"Technically" as well as "actually". Which means that you're guilty as
charged.
but so was everyone else.
So what? Try telling that to the cop. He'll tell you, "I didn't catch
everyone else, I caught you".
I was not going faster than anyone else on the highway.
But you were going faster than the speed limit.
I think I was just guilty of driving in the passing lane
What, and you're complaining that you didn't get a ticket for this as well?
-- I was an easy target.
And he got you. Tough noogies, pay the fine.
Is this contestable?
Yes. Is it winnable? Get real.
Also, I live an hour away from where I got the ticket and getting to the
court house will be a pain in the butt.
Life is tough. Sh*t happens. Deal with it.
Can I go through the entire process by mail or will there be sometime that

You should be able to do it all through the mail. There should be a schedule
of fines somewhere on the ticket, and an address to which you should submit
it. Write the check payable to the appropriate court, sign the ticket
admitting guilt at the appropriate spot, and send it in. And keep the speed
down (or at least keep an eye out for cops).
Thanks in advance.
You're very welcome. Glad to be of service.

Yikes! Last time I got a speeding ticket was for going 92 in a 75, in
Colorado, and the fine was only about $56 (or something like that). And the
cop didn't seem to think that it was much of a big deal. (Of course, there
was a lot less traffic out there on the prairies than in the environs around
NYC.)

Top Ten Reasons Why Cameron Brown Couldn't
Have Murdered His Illegitimate Daughter
10. The cops lusted after his Mike Ditka autograph.
9. Is this (http://www.freecambrown.org/pictures/xPix06.jpg) the face
of a murd-- (er, on second thought, strike that!)
8. It was the carpet-munching swarthy dot-head fat chick behind the
grassy knoll (see some of Teddi's Greatest Hits, attached).
7. Assistant D.A. Craig Hum is a "stealth candidate" for L.A.
District Attorney. (http://www.smartvoter.org/2004/03/02/ca/la/county.html)
6. They couldn't find enough LEGITIMATE crimes in L.A. to investigate.
5. If no one saw it, it couldn't have happened.
4. The State's expert witness was paid.
3. "BULL-F***IN'-S*IT! ... Wipe your f***in' @ss with your opinion,
b*tch. ... you must have some bug up your @ss. B*tch. ... You know
sh*t." [Widdle Baby Jesus just ***LOVES*** ast*r*sks. :) ]
2. It is reasonable to think a four-year-old girl would get a running
start and take a flying leap off that cliff. [I'm not making this up --
Ted actually suggested this!]
1. God TOLD Ted Kaldis while he was reading his Bible on the #@($ter.
Teddi, get a @$#*in' grip!!!!! You are totally out of control, Dude!

Hey, they let ragheads and towelheads and slapheads and camel jockeys

Darling, you're just wound a little too tight. And I know exactly

But no towel-heads, no slap-heads, no rag-heads, no camel jockeys, and
no bloody swarthy wogs!

What other words are there? "Gook". "Slope". "Slant-eye". The list
continues further downhill from here.
--Theodore A. Kaldis
BTW, you're not ugly, or a fat chick, now are you?
--Theodore A. Kaldis
I do not use the word "nigger", nor do I use the word "coon"
--Theodore A. Kaldis
At that rate, assuming there are somewhere between 25 to 50 million
blacks in the U.S. (and I don't know what the exact figure is, but I
would surmise that it falls somewhere within that range), they each get
between US$140 to $280. Chump change. With that they would only be
"nigger rich".
--Theodore A. Kaldis
I've already been assaulted a couple of times, but both times by Guido's
rather than by coons.
--Theodore A. Kaldis
Raghead women are too ugly to become flight attendants.
--Theodore A. Kaldis
That's easy. This is yet another example of feminine ``logic'' (truly
an oxymoron if ever there was one).
--Theodore A. Kaldis
Ragheads, towel heads, camel jockeys, and other swarthy types not
allowed.

No schedule of fines on the ticket in NY. The ticket sets a court
date. You may mail in the ticket with your plea. If you plea
guilty, you will receive an assessment of the fine in the mail, with
the address to send it to. If you plead not guilty, a trial date is
then set.
Thanks in advance.
You're very welcome. Glad to be of service.
