State - CA
First of all..let me introduce myself as 17 years old and I have had my license for 8 months. I had a passenger who was 16 years old. I take full responsibility for going 91 so no one please respond saying that wa stupid. Of course it was. I wasn't doing it for NO reason at all..my friend who was a passenger had her car somewhere else at the time and somebody notified her via cell phone that her car was going to get ticketed and possibly towed..hence the big rush. (Weather was clear, highway was visibly clear)
It was about 12:30 AM when I was clocked going 91 in a 55 (highway). I got pulled over and I tried to be courteous and as nice as possible. He noticed this and even told me so he reduced it from a misdemeanor to just an infraction by changing it to 91 in a 65. It is no longer reckless driving and I was not arrested.
Ticket cotains:
Line 1. VC 22349(A) MAX SPEED (infraction)
Line 2. VC 12814.6(B)(2) (infraction)
Line 3. Restriction
I've done some research and I understand that if I receive 2 points within 12 months, then my license can be provoked and suspended. Since this is only an infraction for max speed I believe I am only getting one point but I want to either complete traffic school or hire a lawyer to get fines and/or the point completely gone. What are my options? Thanks..
