On the way home from Hot Import Nights, I did a really stupid thing. After a somewhat annoying encounter with one of the tarted up civics leaving Atlantic City I decided (idiot) to put distance between me and him...

Big mistake...Despite having the V1 powered up...I got with instant on from the side going around a bend.

Here's where the really stupid part is..speed? 111 in a 65...Sheesh...(this is what happens when you put a lot of hot iron and a bunch of males in one place).

So anyway, I do NOT want to beat the ticket..I am willing to take my licks here...I deserve it, but I do need to know if I can plead for a point reduction or something. I've kept my driving record clean for years (with the exception of parking tix) and was wondering if any of you had insights...other than the obvious flames...

Thanks all


If you were cool with the cop go to court and plead maybe talk with him off the record before the case, most cops will say that to help you they will reduce the speed to just under whatever the speed in that particular jurisdiction is so the judge will be guided by the fine schedule on reverse of ticket and not throw the book at you.This accomplishes two things,1- you don't fight the ticket,easy for the cop and court, 2) you pay money which is what they really want. The only other longshot would be to hire attorney, but you said you were doing over 100mph so I don't think there is much to go on.
