i got a speeding ticket yesterday. i was driving behind a sheriff

[catmother]

for about 4 miles. figured if i'm behind the sheriff i'm doing the speed limit unless he's got his lights flashing. we were in the passing lane as were many cars. all of a sudden he changes lanes, i pass him and then i change lanes. next thing i know he pulls me over. said i was doing 75 in a 55mph. i told him i was following him but he said when he changed lanes i went faster then him. i feel like this was a sleazy trick. now i do drive fast -- always have. if there are not many cars on the road i feel why not?

my husband said i should go to court and fight it. but my feeling is the judge will pull up my driving record and see that i've been caught speeding before and if i lose, i forfeit my right to go to traffic school so the ticket will not go on my license.

he had another guy in the car -- who i think was in training because usually the sheriff rides alone. my feeling is he told the guy "watch me get this bitch in the sports car".

i know i'm wrong for speeding, but being tricked by the sheriff is just as bad on his part.
