I knew I was speeding, but I dont think I was going as fast as he said. A car was going very fast behind me, I couldnt get over, so I sped up so he could get around me. Then we both got pulled over. I'm not sure how to defend myself without saying I sped up. And how do I request to have trail by declaration, do I have to wait for citation to come in the mail? I printed the TR-205 off the internet but I think i have request it before I can send in my written declaration right? If you could give me advice that would be SO helpful :) Mon, 1 Mar 2010 19:29:08 +0000 http://blog.motorists.org/trial-by-declaration-fight-a-traffic-ticket-without-going-to-court/#IDComment59239980
