So I have had my drivers license for 2 months now. I have a job at a construction company when i am not at school, and I get paid pretty decently so today I am looking on the internet for cars. So I am looking for a car that is pretty fast cause I want a nice fast car. So I come across a Subaru WRX STi that is in my price range. So I got so hyped up over this car and about how it has 300hp and my current car has around 115 hp so I decide to go for a drive to get ice cream and I live on a highway. So I turn onto the highway which is 80 km/h and I go the speed limit and then I start going down a hill and my speed increases to 90 just from the hill (no big dea I do that all the time) and then nearing the bottom of the hill I think about the subaru and step on it right as I pass this car... and the lights come on and he turns around and pulls me over. Fuck my life. He comes up to me and tells me he clocked me at 111 km/h and asks for my stuff and goes back to his car. Now, my mom works at the court house so I know a thing or two about the laws and such. So I am thinking about it and I know that 30 over is $194 and 30 can also be considered Reckless Driving which can get your license taken away for 30 days. So at this point I am scared as FUCK. There goes my new car, my license, and money. So as I am sitting there about ready to try and make myself start crying so he might have some sympathy for me he comes up to my window and says "Are you related to (insert name)?" and I am like yeah actually thats my mom.... and he's like, well your lucky, because of that I will only give you a ticket for $89 and two demerits (I have 8 in total). So slightly relieved and nervous as fuck go back on the highway and go 70 the whole rest of the way. Now, I am not buying the car anymore because My insurance will go up and well lets face it. Why get a faster car when I just got a speeding ticket. So the court date to go fight it is February 1 2010. I know it might be a bit greedy to go fight it after I got a break already, but I REALLY dont want the demerits, I will pay pretty much any amount to be able to not get the demerits.
Question: So I feel kind of like a dick for fighting it but since the ticket is for doing 95 in an 80 thats what I will have to fight. So if I were to tell the prosecutor that I was going 85 km/h or something and then it was the hill that made my speed increase do you think the officer would remember what actually happened? Or do you think that because he knows my mom he will remember and decline?
