deffinetly not to terribly fast, and I can admit to doing the same thing. But if I was caught, I would just man up and go pay it. Its part of what it is in life. You break the speed limit hoping not to get caught, but knowing if you do, that you must pay for the gamble.

While its not fair its the way it works.
And usually there is a method to the madness if its amongst a group speeding people. They technically cat profile, so they have to have a way of choosing someone.

A lawyer is to protect your rights and keep you from being wrongfully convicted and to protect you.
Not to cover up the truth and get you out of something you ADMIT to doing.
HE ADMITS DOING IT. WHY IS A LAWYER NEEDED????

He admits he was going 77. He does NOT admit to 'speeding.' Read his post again. He says everyone was going over 70 mph. That means that HE ALONE was not speeding. He was trying to keep from getting flattened.

That is retarded thinking.
If everyone is raping yor mother, do you rape her as well, then tell the judge, I need a lawyer because I am innocent, everyone was doing it?
Other people are not his concern.
If you want to use your reasoning. He should get a second ticket for using thepassing lane for cruising. If you are in the passing lane and someone wants to go faster than you, you are suppose to get in the right lane and let them pass. Not speed up.
HE WAS SPEEDING ACCORDING TO THE LAW!!!
No where does he state the person behind him was almost flattening him.

PAY IT DO NOT TAKE THIS TO COURT.
20MPH over in hawaii is a death warrent. See this is why i said Hawaii is a bit different.
State law says if you are pulled over doing 20mph over the speed limit, or 80mph, you can have your car impounded and your lisc suspended for up to a year. Hense the difference. I really hate it cuz this law came into effect after they shut the only track on oahu down to curb the street racing that resulted from it.
Your lucky as ____ing hell the cop didnt decide to say "____ you and have a nice day"
Pay it, get it over with, your insurance will spike. Depening on who you have insurance through will say how much.

Let me say that again hmm?
There is a COMMON SPEED LAW on the books. It states that there IS a defense to a speeding offense IF if can be demonstrated that that surrounding vehicles were going above the speed limit and failing to do the same speed would result in a traffic hazard.
Your logic fails miserably. I've been in Hawaii and I know how it is. I lived there for 3 and a half years and was pulled over TWICE. I know a lil bit about the laws there, thanks.
The point is, for traffic offenses, whether you did it or didn't do it, or whether you hopped on your hood and announced to the cop that you're guilty....you should GET A LAWYER.
If he fights this ticket and by some quirk loses, the WORST that will happen is he will have to pay the original fine. They cannot increase the punishment because someone exercised their LEGAL RIGHT to fight a charge.

I can't help but wonder how in the world so many people get misguided and ill-informed about what to do in the event of getting pulled over by the cops.
My first ticket when I got home annoyed me, because I KNOW I was singled out in a crowd of people doing exactly the same speed, simply because my car looked a lil more 'sporty' than the others.
That day, I went online and....sheesh...just typed into google "speeding ticket fight" or words to that effect.
Every
Single
One
Of the
THOUSANDS
of pages that showed up said in bold letters "DO NOT JUST PAY THE FINE!!!!! GET A LAWYER!!!"
