I will also try to get behind a fast driver in a BMW. The first car will get picked off. On my way to Sturgis on my Harley last year, I was behind a white Beemer that was 25 over the limit. The Ohio State Trooper passed me to bag the BMW automabile. I then slowed down until another driver of an "ultimate driving machine" got in front of me, then I cranked it back up to the ninety that we were going before the cop got the BMW.
Years back, I got bagged in both New York and Ohio. In both states, the troopers took my papers and made me follow them to a justice of the peace where I was promptly found guilty and fined on the spot.

so in order for me not to get the points (maybe and hopefully), i would need to actually show up in court? with the ticket i got...
i read that in NJ if you get a out-of-state ticket it is only 2 points no matter what ticket you get...if thats the case then i will most likely take a course to knock off those 2 points...dont really want to drive 2 1/2 hours to the court at 9am..
