got a ticket for 91 in a 55 - sold the car and took the sale slip to court to show the judge how seriously "sorry" i was - didn't tell him the car i traded it in for was faster.

got the ticket reduced.

aside from that just say how sorry you are and how you'll never do it again - don't make excuses, make him think you really learned your lesson.

make sure to be respectful, yes your honor no your honor. if you go to a local court chances are there will be a lot of other speed addicted individuals in there with you that will make you look better because they don't know how to talk to/respect a judge.

I haven't had a ticket since I was 18 and that was back in 1982, I've worked too hard to get cheap insurance rates. Now as I get older and head into my golden years it will probably go up just because I can't remember where I parked my car.

respect is the number 1 thing that and like Koburn said, let them know how sorry you are

Yeah if you're a punk to the judge that painful feeling is the book being thrown at you
