To all those who say fight the 500, what if you get found guilty? Court costs and penalties on your license are far more than that. Don't fight it. Plead guilty on their first offer on the trial date. It's the best offer you will get. |

Even if I think I'm doing ok going that fast, it might be someone else's mistake that takes us both out. 
Love all the advice to help you weasel out of the fine, but hey, were you guilty? If so, suck it up and pay your fine. |
Im not going to try to fight the ticket i know i am guilty i was speeding. It wouldnt be worth to take time off work got to court and who knows what would happen. The area i was driving in is real easy to speed i drive 680 alot and the average speed in the area i was stopped at is 80 when its not full of traffic. I was going with flow of traffic but i have a new shiny camaro that prob sticks out. I think the fine is outrageous but i know the chp have to do there job.

As far as I know, CHP does not mail tickets to violators. The courts will mail courtesy notices to violators who were issued citations personally by the officer.
Do you know the name of the CHP officer that issued the citation to you? One who works the I680 beat was killed recently. Obviously not trying to take advantage of his death but anyone who received a citation from him should contest the ticket to get an automatic dismissal.

I tried to fight a ticket one time that i know i wasnt guilty of. I plead not guilty and thats all they offered me was community service or pay the fine. I told the DA or whoever that took me in a lil back room of the courthouse he said "look your gonna be found guilty no matter what so you either pay or do community service the officers are trained to know how fast you were going". The officer said i was speeding because i was in front of other cars he was a real a**hole. I was in front of the other cars because i pulled out in front of them from a side street. I was in my old 4 banger toyota work that barely went 40.
Yeah thats not the officer he was there when i got pulled over but he wasnt the one to write me the ticket. He came a min after i was pulled over there was a car pulled over a few feet in front of where i stopped that was broke down. I think he went to ask the driver whats going on. The morning he got shot i told my gf i recognize his face because he walked by my passenger side and bent over looked in my car and just kept walking to the car ahead. I did think about that when i first heard on the news a chp was shot in walnut creek.
