I would suggest getting a real good understanding of what truly happened. Speeding tickets are not issued against a car, they are issued against a driver. Also, NJ State Police don't ordinarily pull somebody over for 0-9mph over the limit.

If the family member impersonated you (giving your or saying they were you, but forgot their license) pursuing your defense could get them in serious trouble. I would strongly suggest getting a firm sense of what happened and retaining an attorney to help you through the process.

Otherwise negotiating a speeding ticket, especially such a minor one, is typically as easy as it can get.

Yeah the comet is pretty much gone, down to Magnitude 8.2. That's like doable for us, but it would just be a smudge in the eyepiece. At its brightest (around Magnitude 5) it was super rad. Magnitude is a little counter-intuitive, higher numbers are dimmer. Magnitude 1 is supposed to be around the brightest stars in the sky, Magnitude 6 is roughly the limit of human naked eye vision.

But definitely come up for one of our public nights starting in April, we're open every Saturday night from 8pm and we'll have a talk plus stargazing from multiple really large telescopes. We've got one of these crazy things I'll be running this summer.

That's wrong. They have to prove it was actually you that committed the offense--I beat a ticket like that before, for that reason. Take it to court. You don't even need an attorney. Just let them present their case and prove that you were operating the vehicle and committed the offense. Or, speak to the prosecutor just before the trial, and he may just drop it anyway.
