ticket help
So tonight i got my first ticket in my evo
The story begins as i was driving home from taking my girlfriend home, i got on it in third once shortly after her house and i thought it felt a little slow like i have a boost leak, well i drove some more and got to a left turn (no stopsign) i yielded and no cars were coming so i got on it about 3/4 throttle and let off in 3rd.
The speed limit is 35 on this road and i admit i was speeding a little bit, but my radar didn't go off once. I continued down the road about 500ft and had slowed down to speed limit when i saw a cop on a side street, well i continued until the stop light he pulls me over and says "You look like you were about to lose control back there." i said "No officer this car is awd, i was in full control." he gets my license registration ect. (btw. the cop seemed new because there was a second officer talking him through while he was in the car).
He came back to me and gave me a ticket for "At a speed greater than was reasonable and prudent under the existing conditions of making a left turn."
He said he could have got me for reckless driving, ect.
All this was coming from just what he saw, no radar gun or anything so theres really no proof.
I hope i can get out of it, but i am looking for advice
ps. my clutch is slipping a little bit as well

man that sucks! ive always thought about saying that same thing to a cop if i got pulled over for making a sharp turn or a turn at higher then normal speeds haha guess it doesnt work well... but guess a ticket clinic or go to court and fight it would be the best option so you dont have that ticket on you rrecord
