You can just go to traffick school instead of taking a day off to go to court in hopes of finding a simpathetic judge/tardy officer... Pizza and Comedy will be a real riot!

How fast were you going?

I got reckless driving (misdemeanor) in Feb. last year, 73 in a 35, went to court couple of months later with a lawyer pleaded no contest, got it reduced to speeding(infraction)
Total cost = $2100

Out of the 150 traffic cases I have witnessed in California Traffic Courts everyone lost unless the cop pulled a no show.

Good luck with your case and in the future think of the women and children before smashing the go-pedal for what little acceleration the S has.....

Go to traffic school and avoid a point on your record. Plus you can do it online nowadays and you can take the test over and over until you get a A++.
