Re: First speeding ticket.
First ticket, I remember my first ticket...my second, third.......fourth, fifth....I think I'm up to roughly 7-8 right now.
My worst I was doing 135 in the 70 but the cop failed to clock me even close. I got a ticket for 95. Meh, guy treated me like I was hauling cocaine and underaged Ukrainian hookers in the trunk. Not a cool guy.
I blew it off. Paid the ticket. If you ever actually go to court ALWAYS say guilty, but say guilty with explanation.
NEVER say you were innocent, even if you were. The system is rigged and stupid....you will lose every time.
Do try to get driving school though man, you really don't want the points. Your insurance will go up....eventually they will even try to price you out of insurance (aka 5G's a year for basic coverage)
Of course that takes like 6 tickets in 2 years.
Don't worry about it, but definitely read up and understand your state laws.
