so, i got my first real ticket. so i just put a twn ss in my friends civic and decided to go for a ride. i asked to drive because i wanted to feel the difference in the style of shifter that honda uses. my other friend with a 1990 celica gt was following. we take some twisties and get some heel toe and revmatch action going, and we come to a small highway. we drive for a while and then my friend in the celica rolls up and wants to race. it was clear, zero traffic, and a industrial area with no houses, so i though why not, itll be a good race. the civic has a aem cai, and a full exhaust from the head back. we slowed down to a 40 and i grabbed second. my friend honks off and we go. slowly pull about a bumper shift and get a half a car and slow down. i get a lidar hit on the detector and thought nothing of it because i usually get false hits in the area. we were cruising and we see a car riding our ass, and then turns his light on and pulls over my friend.it was a charger so i didnt recognize the headlights. i then came up to a road block (yes a road block on the highway) where the officer tells me to pull over. he says he got us on the lazer going 41 and thought it was suspicious and then he heard my friends horn. my friend got a racing on highway ticket and a improper use of horn ticket, i just got a racing on highway ticket. he didnt clock us at the end though, and we told him we only raced to the speed limit. great night lol. does this sound fightable? or should i suck it up and take the fine and points?
