I screwed up and was going 18 over in a school zone. How big of a fine am I looking at? Will I get any points on my lisence? ---

Let me guess, Maple Rd between Hopkins and Youngs? The cops have been in there pretty steady since school started back up. Amherst is pretty easy on speeding tickets, even bad ones in school zones. Hopefully it wasn’t a time of day when buses were loading/unloading because that will make the DA feel a bit better about reducing. Go in, explain you know it was wrong to the DA, and that had you seen any school buses you certainly would have realized to slow down. They’ll knock it down to a couple high dollar parking tickets. ---
