Haaahaa... Welcome to the world of speeeding..its hard not to. To answer your question, I have no Idea, I live in Canada. I did get a ticket for going 30 over the limit, it was like 350 bucks. thats in CAD. So you do the conversion to your money type.

I haven't gotten a ticket on my bike (YET) and only gotten one my entire life (car). No matter though, 2 or 4 wheels, a tickets a ticket, and they all suck. I say suck it up and take traffic school, you should be more worried about insurance than the ticket.

See if you can take defensive driving, you may not be able to since it's a 90 in a 70 i'm assuming. If not I'd get a lawyer and try to get it reduced down so it wont get on your record. Good luck, your insurance will go up high if you don't get this off your record if you are under 25.

I had a 70 in a 40 and I fought it and got away with just 1 point and a nice refund on my fine.. My fine was approximately 200.. and I got abut half back.
Doesnt it say the amount of your fine on your ticket?

I hate people like you, Get someone else in an accident and then hang the victim out to dry. You're the reason people have to pay uninsured motorist tax.
