For $90 the ticket clinic can guarentee no points.....buy may include driving school....

For free you can send the ticket in, elect to go to driving school, and not see any points. If you have not gone in the last 18 months, just go to driving school for 4 hours, and be done with it.

As far as your speed goes, you were doing 80 in a 50/55 and he wrote down 90 in a 65. As far as im concerned he cut you some slack, considering that the higher the speed limit, the less of a % over the speed limit each MPH becomes. 20 over in a 25mph zone is much worse than 20 over in a 65 you know....

As far as fighting it, you will get screwed if you mention anything ot the judge that you did to us. Even if hte cop did guess your speed, you have no proof. The law may suck and not truely be innocent until PROVEN guilty, but no amount of bitching and crying is going to make the judge feel better for you. The method used to get your speed will hold up in a court room, the cop said you were doing 90, i believe him. If you have aftermarket wheels or tires, your speedo can be off. They say most stock speedometers are off 8-10% anyways i believe? That would make your 80 anywhere from 72 to 88. The cops speedo has to be calibrated, and is certified. And for your third reason, you tell the judge "the cop and I both know that he guesstimated I was doing 90" they will laugh, and give you the maximum penalty/fines.

pay the fine, go to traffic school, insurance will never know, you will have a clean record, and 18 months not to fuck up before you can fuck up and go to traffic school again, and remember not to speed 20 over the limit, and if you do, you should probably use the things that are attached to the side of your car, and your front windshield, called mirrors.

No offense, but we have speed limits for a reason. People are generally bad drivers, and while im sure some people can handle breaking the speed limit without putting anyone in danger, you probably are not one of them if you dont use mirrors or pay attention to your surroundings.

Good luck!
