>>>tonight while driving home, i pulled up to a red light(about to go
into a 55
mph zone, next to a stock cavalier. I didn't want to race, so i took of
fairly slow, and headed up to my usual 55 - 60 mph. Well, some asshole
in a
damn Honda with Altezza's comes riding up on my ass(I was in the fast
lane)
and swerves in front of the cavalier up next to me and reves his engine
and
takes off! Me, laughing at him see the cop come from behind me and go
around
me real fast and pull him over, AND ALSO ME AND THE CAVALIER! Damn cop
says
we were dragracing(Sure the honda was) and gives us ALL tickets for it,
plus
says we were in "excess of 80 mph switching lanes dangerously(I was in
the
same lane the whole time, not caring to go real fast) This just pisses
me
off, and i wonder if i should try to fight it!
Sorry guys, just had to ramble.

Yes, you should try to fight it. I don't know what the penalty for drag
racing is in your state, but the penalty for drag racing in Ohio (where I
live) is on the same level as a DUI. The guy in the Cavalier's story and
your story are going to be the same, which should give you more
credibility. Make sure when you go to court you are well prepared. It
wouldn't be a bad idea to contact the owner of the Cavalier, who is in
the same situation as you. Also, the cop will probably have to testify.
Make sure you ask if he gunned your car going 80 mph, and not the Honda.
You need to prove that he was assuming you were drag racing, and ask if
he saw either you or the Cavalier make any aggressive moves. Either the
cop is not going to remember or he will have to admit you didn't.
Good Luck!
