The defendant denied the speed violation and challenged the accuracy of the police officer's radar measurement, claiming the fine was unreasonably high. The court rejected the defense as internally inconsistent and noted that the officer's testimony was corroborated by calibration certificates and the defendant's own admission that he initially questioned the speed reading before later citing the fine amount as the reason for refusal.
