Thats my point. This officer said you were following too close so you won't be able to disprove it. I believe you said that when he was done you only got a ticket for - an infraction for following too closely - and a warning for speeding and unsafe lane changes. So you got off for the more serious offenses which leaves you with an infraction of following too closely. An infraction you admit is subjective since this officers own interpretation/observation comes into play. I believe you will have a tough time pleading your case with the judge. I mean what are you gonna say?

Oh Judge please hear me out!!!
He wrote me a ticket most probably because of frustration that he couldn't nail me for the other violations i supposedly committed. And judge there could be other reasons for the ticket being written such as the following:

- jealousy : I'm 24 and drive a well kept and great looking BMW.
- I'm really guilty of the violation
- race and stereotyping
- etc.

You certinally have a right to plead your case but wheres your evidence? If this would not hurt my record or add any points or effect my insurance I would give serious consideration weather it would be worth my expenses to fight a losing case.

Honestly: I know how you feel. I just went to court regarding parking in a yellow zone. Yes I was right, Yes I had the evidence, and yes I won the case, but it took time and my financial resources to get thru it all. Your outcome from my perspective may not come out the same and where's the satisfaction in that. At any rate I wish you the best.
