I just got a ticket for going at 35mph on 20 limit road.
Well, the road is usually 35mph limit, but it was school hour which I wasn't aware of.
I am not a racer, and I'd never speeded if I knew it was school hour.
When the officer gave me a chance to ask him any question, I just asked what time is the school hour and he said it is until 3:30pm. I saw my clock and it was 3:34pm, so I asked him what was the time I was caught and he said 3:25pm. Oh, come on, I mean I saw no kids around there, and there were't even many cars.(Well, I didn;t say this to the officer, I didn't want to make hime feel like oh u wanna argue with me?)
Well, what is done is done, and I just want know how should I handle my ticket. I am under 21 age, and this was my first ticket. I heard from my friends that I can take traffic course which will erase the record, and have no effect on my insurance cost. Is that true? Officer said I don't have to go to court for speeding 15mph higher than limit, and he also said I should call the number on the back side of the ticket to find out the fine. Well, it is weekend, and I have to wait until monday. Does anyone know how much will this cost me though? What would be total cost on me for this?
Please someone who experienced similar cases give me some advice.
Thank you for reading long story.[
