Legal Question in Criminal Law in Maryland

Speeding

My wife allegedly was caught doing 72 in 50 zone. The problem we have with this was that another car was passing (speeding by) her on the left lane (she was on the right)The trooper waved her over. When she politely protested how she could be charged when there was another car obviously speeding on left lane. They laughed her off and told her she needs to prove she was not speeding and wrote a ticket for $145.00. We can't afford an attorney (sure wish we we could use your service!)Nor can we afford the point. Any advice or lead in helping me prepare for the upcoming court date will be much appreciated. (I'm helping my wife with this) Thanks so much for your help with this.

Re: Speeding

The Judge sees the cop in Court every week. He says a person was speeding and they say they were not. Whom do you think the Judge will believe, the cop or your wife? I will tell you, the cop. Spend the money on a lawyer. Your insurance will go up in the long run over the lawyer's fee.
