The tailgating thing is iffy. All you are doing is making an excuse as to why your speeding. In reality, most people that go to court for a speeding ticket are there to prove they weren't speeding at all, not justify it. The law says you may not speed when passing another vehicle, simple as that. If you say you sped up so you can change lanes, then you are admitting you broke the law. Hopefully the judge doesn't see it the way I do or else you are SOL.
