I got a speeding ticket on my way back home from Jones Beach, it was not my day! I was tired plus my son was little sick from the heat. So I wasn't paying attention (usually I have a good eye for high way police) by the time I saw the police I looked at my speedometer it was just below 70 and it was dropping, I didn't realize I was that fast but just followed the traffic (first time I went there and usually on LIE 70s is a good speed). cop caught me 5 min after that when I thought I woulda been safe

what should I do to minimize the impact of the ticket? in terms of fine, point, driving record, insurance cost down the road....god that's too much for me to mention, this is the first time I got pulled over, I got nothing on my driving record. I called Nassau County Court, they said ticket is not in the System???!!! What that supposed to mean? the ticket doesn't even exist? haha I know I am being too optimistic, should I still go?oh, one more important thing, the officer put 9/1/14 on my ticket, which is Labor Day? Why he want me to go there on Labor Day when no one would be there?

any advice is appreciated since it's first time i got traffic ticket, never been to the court before. thanks.

You admit not paying attention, speeding, and driving with a child in the car.

I have some advice....plead guilty, accept your punishment and learn to slow down.

yep, very good advice for the future, but as for the ticket? I am saying I should be able to do something about it.

If its Nassau, you may be able to plea bargain for a lower amount.
