Your right Spudchucka! My post was short and vague.
If you do want to contest your ticket you need to be as detailed as possible with your facts and version of events. This is where a witness like a pillion is handy.
You need officers' numbers, name (if possible), unit number (car) and rego, what questions the officer ask you, times, your version of events, as much detail as possible and you need to write it down, as a record, on the spot. Part of that record is that you asked for the calibration certificate. The cops will have to produce that proof of calibration (and it wont be roadside as Spudchucka said). You are trying to vindicate yourself, write down everything that occurred.
Though KBers, you have to be adamant that it wasn't you speeding, that he did bust the wrong rider. If you got sprung fair and square, you will have to suck up the ticket fine, demerit points or possible loss of licence.
There's no point in antagonising a cop when you were actually speeding and are annoyed that you did get caught.
