i got one in Dec. for going 85 in a 70 in Decatur and it cost me $201, it sucked too cause i would have been clean for 3 years if if would have made it to Mar. 16th and i turn 25 on the 22nd of this month. So i guess no insurence discount for me.

Even if the lawyer is more money than the ticket, the chance is that you will save money on insurance in the long term. It is always worth it to hire a lawyer, he may be able to get it dropped completely...

Sucks but that's the risk you take. I'd definitely get a lawyer though.

Not sure why so many people are giving the guy hate. We're on a car forum for cars that are usually around 350-450 hp, and you are griping at someone for going 75?! Calm the F down.
