Just did this. Got popped for 47 in a 35. Took judge proof that my speedo showed 36mph when my actual speed was 47.
He changed it to "improper equipment". Not that it changed the fine any, but no points. Tickets here are all the same price, $188, except no seatbelt, which is $25, and 2nd offense or higher DUI.

In California they will just charge you another $100 for wasting their time and will certainly not lower your punishment.

Hardly anyone wins. Its not worth the wages lost to fight it.
I went to court over a speeding ticket and they reduced the charges (so my insurance wouldn't go up) and raised the cost of the ticket.
... So I won.

My experience is going before a judge is a waist of time and money.Requesting a jury trial gives you about a 30% or better chance of winning.If I'm on the jury your chances jump to about 95%.(I assume all cops are lying).

I've never got a ticket in my life. Wait that's not true, I think I got a parking ticket (the $20 kind) once when I was like 20.

i just got my first ticket in 10 years.
dumbass on a cellymaphone was impeding traffic and driving like a dumbass.
a lane opened up and i punched it to get as far away from him as possible.
by the time i coasted past the cop i was doing 71 in a 55, in neutral.
i saw him. i knew he was after me when he pulled out and turned his lights on. i left it in neutral and moved towards the right.
dumbass on the cellphone got in the cops way as he tried to move over too.
cop was totally cool. let me keep my license and told me to go contest it in court, or ask for supervision (which is the same fine but it doesnt go on my record if i stay off the radar for 6 months).
he understood exactly what i meant when i said the idiot on the cellphone. i almost thought he was going to let me go but, cops and quotas and BS.
