Did you get arrested for racing on highway? If you
were, it’s either you were part of the race or was just a spectator. Well,
either way, you are bound for serious trouble with the authorities and you will
need a very good lawyer to get you out of trouble.
In the case that you’re not guilty and was wrongly
charged or arrested, you can use different racing on highway defense to contest
the charge against you. But first and foremost, you can’t do this alone, even
if you’re completely innocent. You will need a lawyer by your side to air your
legal defenses in court.
What are the ways of racing on highway defense? How
can you get out of trouble?
·
The police officer who arrested you didn’t fully
witness the alleged “race” so to speak. How can he charge you if he really
wasn’t there the entire time. He could’ve been mistaken then.
·
A good racing on highway defense is if the video
footage doesn’t confirm the officer’s story.
·
If the prosecutors cannot really prove that you
accepted a race challenge or were part of a competitive race. If they don’t
have the evidence, then the charges should be dropped accordingly.
·
If you can get a witness to testify against the
allegations of the officer, this will be a very good defense for your case.
·
You were wrongly accused. You weren’t really
racing on the highway; you were just doing routine traffic maneuvers.
·
This is a long shot, but you will be charge-free
if the officer’s allegations will not match with his arrest report. Highly
unlikely, but still possible.
·
If the speed you were driving in doesn’t count
as “racing.”
You are innocent, unless proven guilty and you have to hold on to that
right. If you are wrongly accused, you have to fight back. The punishments for
this charge are costly and you really don’t want to deal with them, namely
expensive fines and license revocation. And if you got an experienced lawyer
with you, he can look deeply into the facts of the incident and make the right racing
on highway defense for you.
You are also advised not to plead guilty, even if
you feel under pressure to do so. This can hurt your case. Rather, plead not
guilty and call a lawyer immediately. That will be the best move to make in
this kind of situation.
