Damn son, two tickets in a month might, want to look at getting a bicycle.

Depending on how close the two court dates are, you may get lucky since it usually takes a few weeks for a conviction to show up on your driving record. What this means is that the judge/cop may not have any way of knowing about the previous violation. However, if they do see it.........your pretty much screwed.

About the second ticket, what type of road was it, time of day etc. You said there were other cars passing you, how did the cop get your speed(laser/radar, pace.....) Some more details would help.
