Just scribble someone else's name over the top of yours on the ticket, go to court and claim that "Katman got off a ticket like this once".
It's bound to work.

fight it oi. the more of the cops' time you waste, the less time he's spending collecting donut vouchers.
write HEAPS and don't bother replying unless they address EVERY point in your letters. find every minute little bitch manoeuvre. just waste their time. all of it.
I,m on you with this one.....another cop going to court means less tickets handed out to the rest of us....
The cop will have written your speed on the ticket, and that's probably the only record and all the proof that's needed. In court it will be accepted as if it was written on a stone tablet. Unless you had some proof that you weren't speeding - and that does not seem to be the case, you will not win.
I successfully defended my last traffic offence notice in court, but it wasn't speeding. Usually there's nothing you can say to a speeding ticket. Nothing that makes sense anyway, and almost certainly nothing that will be believed.
One of KB's residentused the signature line, "Life is tough, it's even tougher if you're stupid". That seems appropriate here.

Consider this.
If I see someone driving while not wearing a seatbelt, I write them a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt.
My word is the only evidence.
How else can it work? And please don't tell me to video everything, as the legal system couldn't cope with all the stuff I see.
.......and it's equally amazing how fast a mouth shuts when we show them a video of them going through a red light, after they have spent 15 minutes lambasting us for revenue collecting, wasting their time, making shit up.
Video is good, just impractical within the current legal system.
I'm hearing you, but the principle remains the same. If a cop says he saw something, it's generally not made up.
Why would we make it up? It's not like there s a shortage of people actually committing offences. What would be the motivation for taking the risk of losing your career by making stuff up?
Clearly some sort of seatbelt indicator light needs to be fitted to the roof of all vehicles, linked through a satellite network which logs and collates all data. And this is overseen by an independent authority of nuns.
now we just need a solution in case the nuns are lying.
Probably due to the generally word in "it's generally not made up". People get things wrong, people/cops lie, lawyers make a living out of the beyond reasonable doubt standard of evidence etc.
About risking careers, 64 cops were charged with offences in the years 2009-2011.
Could you elaborate on this? I can't see in this day & age with cheap small detailed cameras why we should still rely on dodgy testament from an "eye witness" with vested interest
Quota's was 1 reason... Sorry KPI's. But then what risk??? as people have said, cop walks in other guys guilty regardless of facts or legislation
Plus there's always donuts & toasters which tend to be an incentive to do so![]()

3 possibilities.
1 you were speeding and knew it. Take your hand off it long enough to get your wallet out and pay a fair tax for your actions.
2 you were speeding and did not know. More fool you for not knowing. Take your hand off it long enough to get your wallet out and pay your tax and learn from the experience.
3 you genuinely were not speeding or have a legally defensible position for speeding. Write some letters, provide some evidence or accept you are back on point 1.
