Damn, got my first ticket ever today. Never been pulled over before or even had a parking ticket in 25 years of driving. AL trooper got me on the Mobile Bay bridge. The reckless part is for following too closely. Trooper was very professional, came on strong at first and then good natured when he brought me the ticket (go figure). Since I'm not used to being pulled over, when he asked me why I thought he pulled me over, of course I told the truth. So, of course he puts on the ticket that I admitted to speeding.
Not sure how to handle the court portion. He did misidentify me on the tickets as a female, which anyone can tell I am not (i.e. bald with manly features, and my wife was with me), so I don't know if I can use that to my advantage.
Any tips?
