hey in my experience they will reduce your speed and points reporting but you will have to pay

they may reduce the fine it if its your first offence but don't expect much I think basically they want the money

The first and last time I was in court for speeding the judge lowered my speed substantially. I plead guilty.

Im sure you'll still have to pay the fine, especially the new $200 fee that was just enforced July 1st. They should lower your speed to 14 over so you won't get any points on you license, that is if you're nice.

That $200 is important since it goes to trauma research hospitals.
