I was driving in PA and got a speeding ticket. He claimed it was 95 in a 55 but I think it was more like 85. Either way I'm in trouble.
There was a packed car. It took him like a minute after he pulled us over to get to the car and talk to me. I want to claim that he has no proof that I was the driver. Maybe the driver switched with me and I was really sitting in the passenger seat. We have a big cr with a bench seat so it is possible I could have done it. I want to claim reasonable doubt that it was really me who was driving. He just asked me for my license never having asked if I was the driver the whole time.
Do I have a chance?
Also, what are the chances I could plea bargain down to a violation that won't give me any points or mess with my insurance. I'm 26 with a perfectly clean record.
Also, I'm from NY, so if I lose will it carry over to my state record and affect my insurance?
Should I get a lawyer?
Thanks in advance for your help!
