Hi all, been a long time lurker here with a 2001 quad.
Well today, Received my first ticket in 15 years and made up for lost time:) I was going 20 over the posted limit so I have to go to court, problem is the officer was a real jerk and had a chip on his shoulder. He perfomed a blocking manuever on me by pulling in front of me and my 3 kids and wife who were with me forcing me to slam on my brakes and I still tapped him gentlyhowever there was no damageto either vehicle.
There was no safe way to stop on the extended offramp I was on and I was planning to proceed slowly to the next exit in sight and pull over then, I was slowing with my brakes on and my right blinker on to signal I did see him and was pulling over. The total distance from where he pulled out and we stopped was less than 3oo yards.
My questions is, what steps do I take now? I have to go to court for the speed, he also added eluding police after I asked if his badge and name was on the ticket. I plan on filing a complint, Do I just plead my own case in court? never had to do this before and hope some of you can offer advice. I'm not interested in beating the speeding ticket, i was, the eluding police is 12 points and I'd like to beat that one:)
TIA,
Brett In Colorado
