    First offense getting a lawyer is absolutely retarded. Make up a **** story about what happened prior to your court date, go to court believing your **** story and you'll walk away not guilty. Worked my first couple times for me as well as numerous friends of mine.

    I won't be posting in this thread anymore because it's getting ridiculous for a measely ticket only 16 mph over.

    Never got a ticket so I don't know. But my best advice, AB, is to drive slower.

    I usually go like 53MPH in a 55 zone.

    71MPH is your "slow" speed? That's waaaaaay too fast.

    I don't believe you would drive 53 in a 55 zone with me in the car. That action would put me to sleep, the snoring that would follow may force you the drive at least twice the posted speed to remove my A$$ from you car ASSP. ;)

    $heeeeeeit, I've cruised the Autobahn in Germany at 110-130 for hours. :D

    For you... ummmmmm, I don't know; my Dad always told me to "Drive as fast as you can afford."

    That's a great motto. If I lived by that, I'd be walking. :(

    I don't know about your state. In Texas, you can see the court clerks prior to the court date.
    They can look at your driving record to see if you're eligible for deferment. Son #1 was caught
    for a heck of a lot more than 15mph over when he was 16, and they were able to give this to
    him with no lawyer, or DA or any of that ****. I don't know that a three piece suit , a lawyer,
    a bible, or a **** story would of turned out any better.
    Go do your homework. We can only tell you what works where we live.
    Go call the number on the ticket and ASK. If you don't have 20 tickets in the glovebox,
    no need for Perry Mason for this one.
