It's true that if you take it to court you will most likely win. I got a
speeding ticket and went to the driving school and the school had done a survey over a year (Jan90 to Jan91) and they found that 85% of the time if you take
the ticket to court you will win. The reason being is that the courtdate is
usually like 2 months after the ticket and the officer isnt allowed to bring
notes into court with him so he/she wont have as much knowledge of the ticket
as you will be(you can bring notes) and most judges will throw a petty anty
ticket out because of the obscurity and lack of enforcement of such a fine.
