I think this should have taught you a valuable lesson about speeding. How DARE you go 31 mph in a residential neighborhood? You could have killed someone at that heinous speed!!!!!!! Ok...end sarcasm: that sucks man, I'm with Jesda...ask for a reduction, thats just ridiculous. And dont feel too bad...at least you havent gotten 6 tickets and paid out over a thousand dollars in the last 4 years. oops.
20mph? the lowest ive seen around here is 25mph and its impossible to get my moms neon to go that slow. when i got my first ticket, the cop took 20mph off of the original speed. :oface
plead not guilty, when you go to court, be like "i'm sorry judge, i wasn't aware of how fast i was driving, i wear prescription spectacles and at the moment i was in the process of wiping some smudges off them so i was unable to see the speedometer to keep myself limited."
