If you're in CA - you're allowed to submit what's called a trial by declaration to fight your ticket. Essentially, you submit your version of events to the judge, who notifies the officer to do the same - and then the judge reviews both declarations from you and the officer and makes a final decision.

This works in getting your ticket dismissed more often if you follow a couple of steps. First, make sure you make your traffic stops is not a memorable one for the officer - keys on dash, sunglasses/hat off, hands on wheel, windows down, "good morning/afternoon/night officer... yes officer, no officer," etc... do not fight him/her on anything and just sign for the ticket and go about your day. 2 weeks before your court date - extend your ticket/push court date out (you can initially push it 3 months). 2 weeks before your new court date, CALL the courthouse and make up an excuse why you can't make it for your court date (surprise work trip, family member sick, etc...) The court clerk will ask you what's the next best date for you - try to push it out another 3 months. Now you're 6 months out from your initial court date - start working on your trial by dec. and make sure the court receives it 2 weeks before your court date. Now this extends the process by about another month, as now the judge will ask the officer to respond and will give him/her 30 days to do so. However, so much time has now passed that the cop won't care about sticking it to you/taking the time out of his/her busy day to write a response - you were not a dick, you were not memorable, and it's whatever. So most likely the judge will dismiss your ticket. If the judge does not dismiss and rules in favor of the officer if they did reply - then you have an option to ask for a trial de novo - an in person trial - and you and the officer both have to go in. Hopefully in that case, so much time has now passed that the officer will most likely not show up, and if he does, then judge will rule in their favor and you can ask for a reduced fine/traffic school to reduce the severity of whatever consequence you may face. Lots of info on this online. I've gotten 8 of mine dismissed and 5 of my friends/family members' tickets here in LA county. Good luck!

A speeding ticket will run you $250-300 in fines and then your insurance will shoot up for 3 years too.

BuyDig has not shipped the unit out since I paid on Dec 1st. Is it safe to assume they will not cancel the order?

Since this is the 1st significant drop in price of this unit I believe lots ppl ordered it. Probably backordered until next big shipment drops you will probably get it in a wk.

Missed out on a used R7 on FB so in for one, upgrading from a 13 year old Bel and happy to finally get some directional arrows. 12 day expected delivery date according to eBay.

Ordered mine Dec 2. Hasn't shipped. Buydig csr initially said it was a preorder. I had it escalated, then they said this week or next after they spoke with their purchasing department to confirm incoming deliveries

Mine finally just shipped. They are getting a 1 star rating from me. 1.5 weeks and bogus lies claiming it was a preorder...

you really want that satisfaction
Attempting to troll is precisely what you did, but you failed as I did not even respond until now, denying troll food. Your name seems familiar though, so stop it or next time I'll report you for stalking. Thanks.

Troll definition:

Trolling is when someone post or comments online to deliberately upset another. In short: Trolling is when someone deliberately tries to upset another online. Don't feed the troll - not responding is the best course of action.

They probably got more orders than they had on hand and you had to wait for the next shipment. I got mine from them 2 days after ordering. When I called them to cancel an earlier order after placing another with the 15% off there were nice enough to process the cancellation. and let my new order take the place of the old order in their shipping queue.
