OK. First off, the radar-gun calibration idea. Won't work. People used to use that alot back in the day, and now they (the officers) have a form they fill out like every day saying that the officer calibrated the device using such and such tuning fork blah blah blah... It also states that the officer had a solid "bead" on your vehicle without any other vehicles in the vicinity.
Second, if you have tickets that are over 10mph, and they haven't shown up on your insurance yet, they will. Sometimes the insurance company isn't specifically notified about the infraction, so they won't find out until they run a check on your license (this happened to me when they went to move me into a lower risk bracket. They ran the check, found I had some tickets, THEN the insurance went up).
I would say that PhrOst has the right idea. Either that, or if you subpeona an officer to appear in court as a witness, most of the time they don't show up, so they drop the charge.
One other thing that I was thinking about yesterday (I don't know how feasible this is, or how to do it, but):
See if you can turn your speedometer down so that it registers a lower speed than you are actually travelling at (by like 10-15mph). Then, take your car into the shop, have them test the speedometer and fix it. They should then be able to give you proof that your speedometer was off by XXmph and that they did in fact fix it. Then, when you go into court, you provide that information to the judge, proving that the speedo was off and it has since been fixed, blah blah blah. They should be able to either drop the ticket or reduce it considerrably. Just a random idea I had.
