Default Got my first speeding ticket

I feel like such a dick right now. I don't know why I had the urge to do it tonight. I'm not going to lie what i did was stupid beyond believe.

V-1 was observed traveling 78 mph in 55 mph zone in the right lane passing a NYSP patrol vehicle already at a V&T stop.


I know I know...wtf is wrong with me. you get what you deserve... no excuses.
So should i just plead guilty and mail it in? I kind of scared because I need a clean license to work at my job or else I get fired. Do these things just count as points or am I in trouble?

What's your job? and what do they mean by clean license?


And don't feel bad, anyone traveling on a highway in CT less than 70MPH is subject to being a speed bump- I'd imagine NY is the same way

Why don't you worry about that bridge if and when you have to cross it? I wouldn't try to fight it because it sounds like you passed a cop at a stop... meaning he was clearly pulled over, and you were in the right lane, damn close to where this man of the law was just standing.

Which brings me to... how did he get you when he was stopped?

I admit I was speeding maybe doing 80mph for a while and then up ahead a saw a police car with his lights on already on a stop with another car. I let go off the gas and passed by on the right lane (no choice there was traffic on two left lanes Going at the same speed about 60mph) His story is that he was behind me for a while and said I passed by the other cop at 78mph. Which is not true I looked down at my speed when i passed by and i was doing no more than 60. I do admit that I was speeding before then, but what he wrote was false about me doing 80 as passing by the other officer.

clean license should mean no uncleared points.

speeding tickets you can clear the points off.
