I've got a speeding ticket almost 2 years ago. Took a defensive driving class at IMPROV comedy club(best class ever) and got rid of it. Had to pay the fine though but was only $95 but didnt get any points.
Edit: it was 52 on 35 mphs

Find out if your city offers "deffered adjudication". Especially if you are a low or non repeating offender, you can get mercy by the court by paying a lesser fine and would be required to not recieve a moving violation, probably for between 6 and 12 weeks---if you do get another ticket, you would be liable for the rest of the financial obligation of the original ticket--plus get both violations on your record. drive nice.

just go in and fight it, if this is your fist offense ever then it shouldnt be a problem, assuming you've been driving for a couple of years. i am sure the judge will take it easy on you.

The whole system is corrupt and B.S.
I've had layers from $50 to $150. I always get the ticked fixed becasue of my job. It's so wrong that my last ticket was for driving down a closed road was reduced to FAULTY EQUIPMENT (completely passable street and after constuction hours plus we are a business on that street).
Got a ticket in Iowa once and was S.O.L.
