Yep..it is gonna cost you....go to court for sure with a story for the judge..you never know
dont know if youre in california. out here past 25 mph over the limit is reckless which means your shits taken but i dont know, i got pulled over once i was doing about 85 in a 60 zone and he wrote 80 i had to pay 60 + ticket school which is hella gay. but look forward to going into the savings account and maybe buy a bus transit. what kinda car do you have?
Hey man, best advice here: If the cop wasn't using his radar to catch you, and he just saw you going fast and estimated 95-96, then you can take it to court and win because the cop cannot prove without reasonable doubt that you are guilty. And if you take it to court, he'll likely not even show up and you got out of a ticket. But you gotta spend money on a lawyer unless you know someone, so traffic school may be the cheaper way out. However, you're royally screwed if he was using his radar. Get a scanner :thumbsup:
That's a myth that cops don't show up. They get paid a 5 hour shift for 20 minutes of work. Who wouldn't show up?

In my state, thats reckless driving. You're a lucky fella, here they would have cuffed you in front of your friend, made them walk home, and then tow your car away.
But.... I'm guessing its not quite as harsh where you live, as you aren't in jail. If you have money, get a lawyer. If not, dress up nice and defend yourself in court. I'd bet that it really just depends on if the judge reads the funny section of the newspaper the morning you go into court.
I'd just go before the judge and plead insanity.
