Although, it's kind of fun seeing yourself make a mental transaction from operate a 10,000 lbs forklift to driving 2,950 lbs Scion when you leave from work.
I did a similar job for 3 years 6pm-6am. The only trouble I ever had driving home was avoiding deer and trying to use my turn signal to go from drive to reverse (those that know forklifts should get that one). Yes you'd rather be sleeping, but you don't have that luxury.

As for the ticket for the OP...good luck. The right judge in the right mood means everything.

i didn't have my car registration on my that time. But the cop should still know it is Toyota Scion , It said it right on my car Insurance paper.

Should I plead non guilt, would be judge think i am a smart ___?

or just let him know the citation has a mistake?

Typically you have to plead not guilty just to fight, and thats when you bring up the wrong car make, and question the officers competancy in this particular situation. But definately try to sound respectful

Definately plead not guilty. Some states have very specific rules on how a ticket must be completed. You have a good chance to have it thrown out completely (depending on your state).

i got 2 points reduce.
the prosecutor was mean, she said the police made a mistake and my plate number is correct on the ticket, then she said if i want to play game, she won't even reduce the 2 points.

just a heads up, don't ever get caught in East Brunswick . there was at least 30 people there tonight for traffic violation.

It's obviously a case of mistaken identity. Simply put, he paced a Hyundai going 65 and made an error in pulling over and ticketing the wrong driver.

If that's not the case, then how can the cops information be reliable? If he can't accurately describe a suspect vehicle, which I would assume is a large part of his job, then how can he be counted on to know how fast the suspect vehicle was going?

well, it is the successor to the celica, and besides standing for "touring coupe," tc also stands for "toyota celica." so the cop was more right than you realize.

I believe that to be verry true.

Can anyone that knows the law from the back of their hand chime in on this matter?

I think the Law has already spoken.
