Hi everyone. I live in New York City and regularly drive on Queens Blvd., which is the largest street in Queens. It used to be a 30 MPH zone but now it is 25 MPH and has cameras everyone. It's actually difficult to go that slowly on such a major boulevard and watching people whizzing by me but I do. I didn't think I was going very fast, perhaps 28 MPH at highest on my speedometer, which is analog, and I think the needle was on the line. I ended up getting a ticket in the mail saying I was going 35 MPH and there is no way I was going that fast. Is there a reasonable defense to fighting this ticket? I heard you can ask questions like when the speed detection equipment was last calibrated, etc.
