so my meeting with the prosecutor is tomorrow. What should i expect?
should i talk about the speeding and admit that i did go 118 but explain that i was passing the van at the top of the hill and accelerated and focused on the road not my speed then once passed the van got back in my lane and lowered to a cruising speed of 95?
or should i talk about how i would like to come to a conclusion with the prosecutor to avoid the time and money that going to court would take?
any help is much apreciated

thank you simon and biron
ya it was an undercover cop car so far down the road that i had already merged back into the lane and drop my speed before i could even tell it was a cop and at that point he was slowing down and doing a u turn in the intersection infront of me so he was facing my direction, at this point i had still not reached him doing 90 and it took me acouple seconds more to get close to the intersection thats when he turned on the lights

ya i was thinking it would probably be a bad thing. im pretty much working for damage control at this point i just want some kind of reduction. what should i say in regards to me passing the van? like the van and i both stopped at a stop sign then i followed it for about half a k and it took a long to time accelerate to speed so i decided to pass it then i came over the crest of the hill and the coast was clear so i pulled out and passed, the cop said the van was going 94 which in the real world is a good speed but in legal world its speeding so wat should i say? my cruising speed was under 10...

ok thank you il make sure i dont make any excuses and only explain the situation. i went to the courthouse today to declare that i am going to fight it, the lady gave me a yellow form to fill out so that i can have a meeting wwith the prosecutor so i can ask for a reduction. what should i expect from this meeting? and what aproach would be in my best interest, ideally the prosector would be feelin generous and take mercy on me and drop it to 15k over so i dont lose any points given that im only 18 and already have one fairly serious ticket do i have a chance of the prosector reducing the ticke...

yes i was planing on saying that because i was on a hill i accelerated too much and that i never wanted to reach a speed of 118 and that it was for a very short time, i dont plan on disputing the speed just saying the hill made me accelerate faster than expected.
Do you think that is a good thing to say? and is there anything else i could say in my defence?
