i am getting a huge fine for pretty much nothing, here is the storry:
i am dropping my little brother off at the amusement park where he works at. the speed-limit is 10mph, i might have been a little over that but not much (i drove normal lets put it that way).
right before i let him out of the car i make a sharp turn and hit the brake (so i would be in a nice angle to let him out of the car).
the parkmanager called the police on me and told me that i would have to wait for them.
he and 2 couples (which would make 5 witnesses) seen me at a "high rate of speed" doing "donuts".
(thats what the park-manager said)
everything was on gravel too, so when ever i hit the brakes the car span just a little bit, it was maybe 45° or less.
also i blew up dust driving over the gravel (thats what they said).
so now i will have a big fine, somewhere from 100 to 300$
and i didnt even do anything wrong in my eyes.
here are my questions:
--------------------------------
should i plead not guilty and go to a hearing?
if yes, should i have my brother and my self testify that i was not going over 10mph?
will that be stronger evidence then 5 people that dont have radar-guns saying i was going 4 miles faster?
the dust blows up in the air by every car, its gravel for god sake.
if i say i accidently slipped on the gravel (it happend twice) and they say i did spin-outs.
how are my chances of getting out of that disorderly conduct?
any advice?
i really really apriciate any help!
