I know for sure he didn't pace me, he was literally in this pack of cars, probably a dozen or so, all going less than the speed limit presumably because he was in it. He was in the right lane, as soon as I saw that he was in it, I finished passing the people and moved over. He didnt get behind me until after I was already out of the left lane. He had to move 3 lanes over to the left (this is where its a 4 lane road, and he was in the farthest right lane) then move one lane right to get behind me along with come out of a bunch of traffic so he's gotta look where he's actually going. I don't think accurate pacing is possible during this type of a maneuver..
And I'm not saying that he couldn't have gotten a speed on me, I'm saying that if he HAD, he wouldn't have pulled me over for it.. and if he really did need to give a ticket for 4 or 5 over, he would have told me what he clocked me at.
The speed is really not the point of this thread though, since he didn't cite me for it.. I'm just curious what kind of a chance I have of fighting a careless driving ticket in court that I (and most others) feel is unwarranted.
