NY, was pulled over in January for the first time in my life. Got a ticket doing 73 in a 40. I was unaware of the speed limit and was keeping up with traffic until everyone spotted the officer and I didn't. Due to the excessive speed (31 mph or more over the limit) the I am REQUIRED to appear in court +9pts + additional fees. I have no clue what to do/expect. If I could plead guilty online, pay the fees I wouldn't be concerned. However, I am very concerned about the points and I have no clue what to expect in court. I have plea not guilty online as was suggested by a friend, however I am not sure that is the best choice. Any opinions? BTW, how do I check the speed limit in the area on that specific date? Everyone is saying the speed limit is 45 and not the 40 as stated on my ticket, the 5 mph difference would make a huge difference.
