I was pulled over for doing 75 in a 45. It was 2:30am Friday night/Saturday
morning. I was speeding, but I wasn't speeding by 30 MPH and I have a way
of "proving" it: I have a radio scanner in my car attached to a Magnetic-
-mount antenna on my car's roof. The manufacture rates the antenna at 65 MPH,
meaning the antenna will remain attached to the roof at speeds up to 65 MPH. 
I know personally that at 60-65 MPH the antenna becomes shaky. Anything
above 65 MPH and the thing flyes off, trailing behind my car attached to
the cable leading to the radio in my car.  Would this argument hold up
in Montgomery County Court? Thanks for any advice,
