yup, i was speeding. got cought and im willing to pay, but what should i know about going to court for this? Should i just pay it and take the points or show up?

don't just "take the points". you should be able to get to a resolution where you pay a fine, but no points if your record is clean. may require a lawyer -- i'm not familiar with georgia speeding tickets.

in illinois it's close to automatic that you can get court supervision by mail (if you haven't had a ticket in the past year or so).

its my first ticket. and i dont want to go in there and look like a douche bag

99% of the time showing up and pleading a deal with the DA is possible and usually results in a reduction of one or the other.

20 over is considered wreckless driving, i know this because im in truck driving school and i had a 23 over 3 years ago that comes off in june, FIGHT IT. talk to the cop before court ask him if you can talk it down to disobeying a traffic control device

Depends on the state. In MA I got cought doing 85 in a 55, paid the ticket by mail, no problems.

I agree with that. Also look at the tickets for options. I went in and in WA, we have what is known as a Deferred sentence. What is means is that I paid a $100 fine and if I did not have any moving violations for a year, that speeding ticket goes away. We in WA can use that out once every 7 years.

First speeding ticket, I got out with the help of a lawyer.

i got a 59 in a 45 and it was 3 pts plus 200 bucks.
its off now. but i thought for 14 over 200 bucks was kind of heavy.

Where did you get the ticket? I got a ticket 2 months ago for 30 over. That would have been an automatic suspension for me since im under 21. I got a lawyer and he got it reduced to a 20 over.
