I was given a ticket for 22348(b) which is driving in excess of 100 MPH

The speed was 104 and it was at 12:45 am

I live in California

I have had my provisional license for a little over 7 months, what do you think is in store?

How old are you? Your age and the fact that the license was provisional will have additional significance. Here is the section for which you were cited.

Advice, get good walking shoes, bicycle and learn to use public transportation, be ready to pay some hefty fines and higher insurance once you are able to drive again.

Excessive Speed
22348. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 22351, no person shall drive a vehicle upon a highway with a speed limit established pursuant to Section 22349 or 22356 at a speed greater than that speed limit.

TOP 10 Defenses You Can Use When You Violate The Speed Limit:

NUMBER 10: Your honor, I was being passed by a guy on a riding lawnmower!

NUMBER 9: The cop referred to you as Mr. Fred Speedstone.

NUMBER 8: Isn't the California maximum speed limit 135 mph?

NUMBER 7: Local cops won't give you speeding ticket if you say you're on a "bad trip".

NUMBER 6: Your punishment will be to drive a pink Miata for 6 months.

NUMBER 5: I was really trying for a high-speed, drug-fueled, car chase.

NUMBER 4: You are hurled from your car after a high-speed collision and your first thought is, "Oh boy, I'm in a nice tight spiral!"

NUMBER 3: On the way to work you get pulled over for speeding and you don't even have your car.

NUMBER 2: Aren't you tired of cops who stop you for speeding and ask, "Where's the fire?"

AND NOW, the NUMBER ONE Defense You Can Use When You Violate The Speed Limit:

You misremember "Speed" - - convinced your car will explode if it goes under 100 mph!

In response to my age, I'm 17. I was looking at the 22348(b) penalty and was wondering if that is for minors as well.
 
The courts tend to be much harder on someone of you age and inexperience to prevent you from killing youself or someone else..
