Okay so even if there is a mention of this other vehicle you do not really know how officer will testify about it.
You have a great question... How can officer identify the vehicles when there are just headlights?
Also how can officer estimate speed in the dark?
And if it was radar, it can not identify a specific vehicle as to which one would have been speeding if there were two in the beam.
But again, without experience in court, you will most likely lose.

I don't know that I would touch this one if I had Johnny Cochran reincarnate on my defense team.

The officer will say that your car was passing the other vehicle (white sedan?), as well, the radar would have shown your reading, not the slower vehicles. Between the officer's visual observation and the radar reading, things look really good for the prosecution.

Hi everyone, thanks for all your help. I took your advise and plea. The point may go down but the price may go up. Just waiting to be informed.

I'm a bit confused here. The points may go down but the price may go up? These fines are set, and so are the points. Did you get an adjournment, did they amend the charge up to stunt?
