I was driving on the PA turnpike when one lane closed for construction. I thought nothing of it and began slowing down when I noticed a state trooper by the side of a white volks wagon writting them a ticket. I placed my foot on the break and was thinking to myself "poor bastard getting a ticket". Then he starts pointing at me as i got closer. Then he practically jumped out infront of me while i'm driving in the express way in a one lane road, so i slam on the breaks and pull over. He comes up to me and says i stopped you cause you were going 71mph in a 40mph work zone. So i say ok. I thought to myself that they must of had a speed trap at the beginning of the work zone as i was slowing down because i normally travel at around 75-80mph in the 65mph turnpike. So i'm in a bad mood and as i look at the ticket it says that i was caught by Radar and that he himself was the operator. There is no way i was going 71 mph when he saw me, and how the heck did he operate a radar gun as he was writting the white VW a ticket? So I look online and see that 31mph over is the maximum penalty at 5 points and a mandatory 15 day license suspension for speeding in an active work zone. I normally don't speed to much and am usually very careful. I haven't gotten a speeding ticket in 7 years. Any suggestions on what i can do? I can't loose my license for 15 days and my insurance will take a huge hit if i am found guilty of this.
