Or just drive the speed limit. By the way if you got deferred in another city/county I think you can do it again in Plano. I had a friend that was doing deferred at the same time but 2 different counties. You may want to look into that.

Plano is bad about tickets. I dont like driving through Plano either.. Problem is, I live in Plano lol. You CAN drive the speed limit.. its not hard. Well.. ok maybe it is but ya know... 
You can take defensive driving if you are 24 mph under the speed limit. If you are over that, you would have to get a lawyer and/or request deferred adjudication (Probation)

Actually it's extremely difficult to drive the speed limit. Many of the roads change the speed limit often. A major street lined with crowded residential areas might be 40 but as soon as the neighborhoods disappear and you have fields on either side of you the speed limit drops to 35 or even 30.
Plano is designed to be a speed trap. Look up city revenues, you'll be amazed at how large a portion comes from tickets. At one time it was #1 behind property taxes.

I really wanna finish my 240 and get a ticket for drifting like a ricer through an intersection with flashing strobe lights and a lot of white smoke!!!
Sucks for your ticket. Luckily for me, my judge used to race corvettes and helped found baer brakes. I talked to him after my trial (for a speeding ticket I didnt commit, seriously) and we discussed my s2000, all sorts of cars. I got off free

not gonna say andrew was in the right, but definitely driving my lotus at the autox doesnt justify how fast you can go on street. you gf has an s2k which im pretty sure drives it worse than you can as far as following the speed limit. before you preach to people for following laws, why dont you get back in to that rx8 you used to have and teach us a version of SLOW driving.
