Oh yes, for those of you visiting: Bring cash! If you are not a German resident you have to pay cash at the spot, fines are then doubled...

You should always request a 'supporting deposition'(see traffic ticket) from the ticketing officer. This must be sent to you before your court date and if the officer fails to do so, case dismissed. If the officer does send you the supporting deposition, check it(and the ticket as well) for technicalities that will allow you to get out of the ticket as well(ie: he wrote wrong license plate #, wrong VIN, wrong eye color, etc.). Also continually postpone the court date as long as possible which improves your odds of the cop not showing up - in which case ticket is dropped. Good Luck!

It doesn't hurt to make "real" friends with cops so they can give you advice or PBA cards!

I have been following with some interest, and here is my opinion.
If I were in the same position, then I would go to the prosecuter, and see if they could lessen the charge(less points, maybe less money, less insurance impact). I probably would not fight it if they did not since I tried to run from them and they did not cite me for it. Looks like I already got a break. I was speeding, I was caught, I would pay up. If I did not want to risk this, then I would be driving over the speed limit.
