Get a lawyer . With a lawyer you've got about 90% chance of beating the ticket. The lawyer will likely cost more than the ticket...maybe two or three times as much...but it's worth every penny. The amount your insurance goes up really adds up. Speeding tickets don't fall off your insurance or driving record for 3 to 5 years. That means your insurance rates are screwed for that long at least, unless you get another ticket. Then you will likely be paying double of what you were with no tickets! So say your insurance goes up only $30 a month. That's over $1000 in three years! I would drop $1000 on a lawyer in a second if he could get me off. They can never guarantee that they can get you off because it's unethical, but I've never had one fail me yet. I've hired at least seven over the last five years. I've got two more in the works. You have to remember that generally lawyers are smarter than cops.
Look, at the very least consult with a lawyer and find out what your options are. There may possibly be a good deferrment system or something to that effect in your state. Good luck!
