RE: speeding??
I am a police officer in Texas so I dont know how similiar our laws are but I can try to help. Can you tell me what kind of ticket you got exactly i.e. speeding, reckless driving, or what the ticket actually says on it?

RE: speeding??
Sorry dude, 40 or more over the speed limit is a class A misdemeanor and is punishable with up to a year in jail and $2500 dollar fine. Its not a ticket. You should have went to jail, but if you didnt the cop was probably nice and let you drive your baby home. YOU NEED A LAWYER in the worst way to be with you in court so they dont make an example of you. I have first hand experience with your situation.

RE: speeding??
In New Jersey, there is this thing called the Unsafe Driving Act. You can only use it twice in your lifetime. You can use it in court without a lawyer and plead guilty, of course, and all you do is pay the fines, no points, no insurance b/s, and no state surcharges. I think it may be an act everywhere, look into it because i'm about to use my first one for 62 in a 45, not as bad as you guys but i just got my license in march, cops in my town just put miles all on the car, thats it. They would not hesitate to shoot you and send 5-6 patrol cars if you stole fritos from a seven eleven.
