Hi,
The following is what happened to me, it is a long story so anyone who could help me would be greatly appreciated. It's hard to justify why I was going so fast but here is the story. I got a speeding ticket by a CHP officer going 100+ in a 65. I'm not sure how he got my speed but all it says under "speed approx" is 100+. I was driving a new BMW and I am only 16 years old. I have never been pulled over before because I generally don't speed. Anyway the reason why I was speeding was because I was being followed.
I was at a stop light when a heavily tinted BMW M3 pulled up next to me. The person(s) driving the car started shouting at me "Did your mom buy you that BMW fag*et" and "why are you driving so slow". I wound up my windows and turned up the music so I would not hear them. The light turned green and I drove onto the on-ramp with the Bmw behind me. I was driving in the slow lane following the speed of traffic. The bmw was then tailgating me flashing his high beams. At this point I started getting scared, this continued for a few more miles. I drove onto the off-ramp pretending I was going to exit the freeway but last minute I cut out, crossed the solid white line in an effort to see if they would still follow me. At this time I was driving with traffic and the bmw still continued to follow me, now he still was tailgating me flashing his lights and now swearing behind me. My adrenaline was pumping hard so as I look back I realize that the choices I made were not the best. At the next exit I did the same, took the exit and cut out back onto the freeway. The area I was in was not a populated area so I did not want to exit the freeway. About 10 minutes into the ordeal I became very scared and as the freeway opened up with more lanes I shoved the accelerator to the ground in an effort to loose them. As I was going faster the bmw still continued to tail-gate me even as I was getting 80+ mph. About 20 minutes after the bmw started following me I passed a truck weight scale station. The bmw then cut across all five lanes of the freeway and took the exit. I was then left alone. But I did not realize there was a CHP bike behind be, my adrenaline was pumping so hard I did not even notice him.
So I was pulled over and the CHP officer gave me a ticket for 100+ in a 65. I told him everything that happened and he seemed to believe me and understod what happened. This is my first ever time that I was in trouble by a cop for any reason. Here are the violations on the ticket, I don't really know what they mean. There are also two more but I can't read the officers hand writing.
22349(A) VL
CHP m/c cm8796 100+ s/v
I understand what I was doing was wrong, I put everyone on the road at risk. I did not realize I was going so fast, my hart was beating out of my chest. I have no idea what I should do. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
