Take a driver improvement course - do not have them turn it into the DMV unless the judge orders you to take the course or gives you the reckless, this way if you need it again in the future you can get still use it.

If you can get the speedometer tested at the same place the cops do theirs do it - if it is off get it fixed and then go back to get tested again



YOU CANNOT GET PROBATION anymore for speeding or reckless so you need to either have the case dismissed/ reduced to regular speeding which you were off by 1 mph.. you will have to pay something, but if you get reckless its a max 2500 dollar fine + $950 for the civil fees + they can suspend your driving privelages ((which you can most likely get changed to allow for work)) and if you have a bad record or piss the judge off you can go to jail.

If you go without a lawyer you will most likely get the reckless.

Also do not dress like an idiot, wear some slacks long sleeve shirt tucked in and a tie... jeans and a baggy sports shirt are stupid. You will be in front of the judge for at most less than 5 mins - Appearance counts!! Call the judge Sir/Mam or Your Honor... do not call him dude or buddy like some of the idiots I watched recieve the heaviest fines possilbe.
