Am I fucked?

So I was trying to get back to my house yesterday on a freeway where the flow of traffic is always around 85 but the speed limit is 65. I was real tired and wanted to get home because the air conditioning in my car sucks and I was roasting. The freeway was completely empty and its one that I've driven on hundreds of times before and neer seen a cop on, so I started playing some Dick Dale and hit around 140. All of a sudden FUUUUUCCKKK! I see a cruiser hiding in the bushes and press down hard on the brakes. He clocked me going around 97, which is lucky in a way but not really (If I had kept up my speed I probably could have gotten away). What are my options here? Do I even have any? Anyone who has gotten a ticket here in California know what kind of price I'm going to have to pay? He only got me for the speeding violation but will the court try and charge me with reckless driving too or is that something the officer has to do? I'm 17 so am I eligible for traffic school. Is there any way really out of a 32 mile over the speed limit ticket? God damn I feel like a fucking dumbass. Any help from the wise NS community is much appreciated. I wish I had a fucking autobahn.

get a lawyer and:
see if the cop's radar had been zeroed in that morning
if there was lots of other traffic you could argue that he was radar-ing someone else
etc.

you have to go to court? thats harsh. in canada you just pay your crilla and go. i dont know if its the same where you are, but here if you pay your ticket within like thirty days or something you get to only pay half of it. also, i've gotten like three speeding tickets this year and i think my insurance went up like 2 dollars a year or something. good deal

my brother got clocked at 163 in a 70 (in Illinois) and got reckless driving, felony speeding, drag racing, and some endangerment of youth bullshit cause there was a family on the side of the road changing their mini van tire. so chances are youre fucked. unless the cop was cool, then you might be less fucked but still fucked

Agree, if your ticket doesn't specifically say "reckless driving" on it you probably won't get anything too extreme like points against you. That being said it was 32mph over so I wouldn't expect it to be cheap. What I'm aware of from my ticket, if you do the traffic school your insurance won't go up. That's what the lady at the police station said, don't quote me on it. Basically, you'll get your official ticket in the mail, pay the ticket fine which won't be brilliantly cheap (I think there's the option to work out a payment plan with bigger fines from what an ex had to do), sign up for traffic school.
I got a 60 in a 45 and it wasn't bad, ticket and traffic school, no court. I was pretty miffed and sarcastically said "because it's a turbo" when he asked me why I was speeding so I didn't get out of a ticket.
Way better than it could've been, I hit 110 every freeway drive the first couple weeks I had my new car.
PS: The traffic school I did was GoldRushTrafficSchool but double check with your local station to make sure it's compliant. Good luck!

Yeah I doubt that you got up to 140. Its not impossible but...I have a 04 Forester xt with the vf39 and the neccesary upgrades. When it was a stock the ECU topped it out at like 120 ish. Thats a four cylinder turbo. With all the upgrades It gets to 100 fast, but after that it would need a runway to get up to 150. Fastest ive gotten was 125.

Thanks for the support fellas, the ticket ended up being $360.


And to the poor, fragile soul who felt the need to bump one of my very old threads, your cover band blows and you dress like a fourteen year old after a trip to Ross.

Grow up loser.
