Call DMV or go to their website. Make sure you know the exact statute you have on the ticket, as well as how much over the limit were you sited for. If it does not say that on the ticket, try to get all related records from the DA by using process called "discovery" (you write a request for information to DA). If speed was not shown anywhere, you have good chance to have it dismissed or have no points assessed.

A Failure to Obey (3111, if that's what it is) is a gift that only carries a fine and no points on the driver's license. The FTO ticket doesn't usually have the speed on it unless it is in the comments section.

If only all speeding tickets were FTO.
