Information and belief is what the affiant feels he or she can state as true, although not based on firsthand knowledge.
An affidavit is a written statement of facts voluntarily made by an affiant under an oath or affirmation administered by a person authorized to do so by law.

I had a medical emergency. I was being tailgated unsafely and there was no place to pull over. The speed limit in that area was reduced. My vehicle had a mechanical failure (such as brakes on a downhill stretch or a defective speedometer) documented by a mechanic. I was not speeding.
Start Cruising. The easiest way to avoid speeding is to use your cruise control. Most modern cars come equipped with cruise control, which lets you set a specific speed for driving. Your car will take care of maintaining and regulating your speed so you can focus on potential hazards on the road.
To enquire about a traffic citation, contact the Clerk of Court in the county where the ticket was issued. Visit the Florida Clerks of Court directory on the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles website to find the contact information for the office you need to contact.
