This really should be in the UMW forum. You mentioned the exact two reasons why you are getting pulled over. 20 MPH over the limit is a lot and you'll rarely (if ever) get away with that. I stick with 5-10 (once in a while 15) and haven't gotten a ticket in years.

By the 4th ticket, you now have a proven history of speeding so they (judges) would most likely be very harsh on you.

Stop speeding...problem solved.

I never go more than 10 over now after my one speeding ticket and havent had any problem since, even with cops sitting on the side of the road with radar.

As for the specifics on license suspension laws for Minnesota...Google is your friend

You might want to consider buying a radar detector. It won't help you now but it will in the future, along with more intelligent driving decisions.

Luck has nothing to do with it. 20mph is automatic ticket. If you're still thinking that's ok, I forsee more "bad luck" in your future.

Slow down or you'll be taking the bus soon.

I'd rather drive 9mph over and not have to ride on the bus.
