I was coming around the bend before exit 54. I saw the cop on the side and ensured my speed was 55mph. The cop still stopped me and gave me a citation. The citation states that he had a hand held radar and since i was the only car on the highway, i was the one speeding at 87 mph. How can i appeal the ticket ? ALso, thh sun was in my eyes and it was unsafe and i was trying to get out of the sun. i have a NYC drivers licence and was driving a rental car which had problems with accelerator and speedometer

In general, now every case is different, but an attorney who knows what he's doing can certainly get a reduced ticket. Now given your circumstances it would be wise to bring in proof of mechanical failure. Your word wont really be enough to offset the officer's claim. Furthermore there are a number of probable defenses in radar issued tickets but each case is different. Contact a competent traffic attorney for best results.

Enter a plea of not guilty, post bond and hire an attorney familiar with the courts in county where you were stopped.

You are charged with speeding 33mph over the limit. This puts you in a range for a PennDot hearing and then a possible 15 day suspension if you are convicted. You should hire a lawyer to assist you. A lawyer can make sure the trooper followed proper procedures, challenge the evidence, and can help you fight your ticket. Call a few local lawyers for a rate. I always tell my clients that my fee may be around the same price as a ticket, but you're also avoiding points and possible insurance increases that follow a ticket. In your case, you can also avoid a hearing and possible suspension. I'm sure you've already done so, but plead not guilty to the ticket and follow the instructions on the back of the ticket. A hearing date will be set after that.
