Try to Write a letter to the ADA asking for a reduction. Explain the the possibilty your speedo was off and you have a clean license. If your not staisfied with that, plead not guilty and you will be scheduled for a trail in which you will be able to discuss the ticket and a possible reduction with the law enforcement official prior to seeing the judge. Ask for a no point reduction or even a 2 point citation such as failure to obey, etc. Unless the Court/Ada, Trooper is hardcore going to a trial over the matter is not cost effectavive.
If you plead guilty to a lesser charge the court still gets the money, you don't get any points and the ada/Trooper still gets a ticket.

What is nice here in Vegas, is once a year you can take traffic school on a ticket up to 40 over the speedlimit, and it wipes it clean, and the class is only $55, compared to a $200 for 20 over the limit. But only once a year, and if you get another forget about trying to fight it in court!

exactly. no offense takin creedarado.
i do the lawyer thing to make sure it stays off my insurance if you pay in court around here your insurance will know about it and it will go up. my lawyer charges about what it would cost to pay the ticket out right. but then i dont have to pay even more cause my insurance will go up. so theorectically im saving myself some money. just looking at the long term.
