no no no don't listen to them, you are 17, the ticket says speeding. if you get a ticket under 18 (non reckless) and its 1 ticket they will dismiss the very first ticket you get IF you and your parent go to the court, a lady will come around and ask people what they got and then the judge will call every one in there and in one swoop, every one in there gets there ticket dismissed if its just speeding (failure to yield, rolling stop sign stuff like that) you then have to go to the COURT APPOINTED DRIVING SCHOOL ***WITH A PARENT*** it takes 2 Saturdays, its not that bad and best you ticket comes off the record. i got popped with 44 in a 25 speeding, this is what happened to me, then i got 2 reckless (46 in 25 school zone, and 79 in a 55 both got reduced to speeding thanks to the lawyer and the truck being 10 mph off on the spedo.) but thats what you need to do, its not going to be that bad, dress nice, don't be stupid and say yes sir....

***THIS IS IN VA BEACH BTW SO I DON'T KNOW ABOUT OTHER CITIES***
