1.) plead not guilty 2.) mail it to JJ Audubon if you got it in Amherst 3.) go to court and talk to DA or whatever and he’ll set you up for like a parking ticket 4.) pay ~$100. 5.) if you dont have the cash you can have this process extended over a year before you have to pay ---

Well its his 2nd offense so if he pleads not guilty the DA is just going to tell him that and will be denyed any reduction. Fine will probably be more around 200 but still plead not guilty anyways to see what the DA says. ---

You’d get a reduction 99% of the time even with prior speeding tickets, unless they were overly bad ones. The only thing one should ever just plead guilty for is a parking ticket. Fine will probably be around 150 I’d guess, but I never had any speeding tickets in Amherst. ---

I’ve gotten 55 in a 40. The fine was $75 bucks. It was in hamburg though. 15 over isn’t really a big deal. ---

Worst court around, they seem to just pick a fine out of a hat and give it to you. On Topic: Always Always Always plea not guilty to anything other than a parking ticket. 99.9% of the time it will get reduced because the small towns and cities need the money. ---

Listen, they’ll reduce it to a parking ticket, and you’ll pay a fine. No points, no insurance increase, prob. not any driving school either. It’s your first speeding ticket. 15 over isn’t a big deal. My first ticket was 18 over, paid $90 and called it a day. Second was 16 over, $50 and driving school, called it a day. Third was 15 over… you get the point. Things will be ok. Plus, if you do get a point, you can take a point reduction class and get rid of it. Driving school’s not that bad anyways, if you get it. I have fun in it. Edit: Although, I’ve never been to Amherst court. Just don’t show up looking like a jerk. Wear nice clothes. Talk to the DA, get it reduced. Call the judge your honer, all that crap. ---
