Default Defensive driving guideline?

Received my first ticket in 12 years today. Following a line of cars 72 in a 55 right after the speed dropped. So it's 17 over. Anyone know if DD is an option. The ticket does not give any guideline on whether I will qualify or not.

Or are there better options other than defensive driving. The ticket is in bexar county by a county officer.

Thanks for the information.

You're good. You can take DD up to 24mph over. Also, the cut-off for deferred is 29mph.

Thank You. Is there any reason to do defensive driving over defered adjudication. Or does it come off my record either way. thanks for the help again.

Either one will keep if off your record. DD is limited to how often you can take it, every 2 years I think. It may be a little cheaper also but I'm not sure.

Thanks again live and learn. the pisser behind the whole thing is my friggin I phone alarm has been weird for the last two days. It went off an hour earlier than it was set for. I deleted it and saved a new one and went back to sleep. This happened yesterday and it did the same crap this morning. So I missed my carpool ride to work.

It could be worse I guess this makes up for some of the times I was really misbehaving in the past.
