Ok. I got a ticket in February. Doing 50 in a 30, $100 fine, which is half of what it should have been. Basically, I’m going to court this Thursday and I need to know which stance I should take. The policeman asked me what I thought I was doing and I hit the nail right on the head. Being under 18 at the time, my license is on the line. This all happens in Massachusetts, if that matters. My stances are as follows:

1) I really need my license this summer. I’m going to college this year, and I’ve got 2 jobs and 2 younger brothers that I drive around to sports, etc, as well as myself. I’m in several extracurriculars at school. Mainly, I need it for my job, to make money to survive at school next year.

2) The cop was sitting at the bottom of a hill in a suburban neighborhood. The houses are setup in a decline, and there were cars in the driveways, hiding the policeman and his car.
