You're only hope is to plead insanity.
(I'm sorry, couldn't help it.)
Seriously, 14MPH over isn't good. Usually 12 MPH over is the cut-off for leniency - at least in IL. But if this is your first 'mover' in eons you might catch a break from 'Da Judge'. Another factor is if it's a local, county or State Police ticket. Local = good, County = bad, State Police = fugtaboutit.
My guess is you're looking at a nice fine, court costs and a up to a year court supervision and driving school. No police contact during your supervision and your ticket goes away. Also if its local and you plead guilty, pay your fine your insurance company likely won't find out. But never ever plead guilty for a County or State ticket. Unless you're Bill Gates and can self insure.
And I wouldn't hire a lawyer - yet. See how the cases before you go (sit up front). If Da Judge is a jerk and is sending people to prison for spitting, ask for a continuance (your allowed two in IL) then get a lawyer.
(I'm not a Lawyer, but I've played one in court - more times than I care to recall thank you)
Sorry to disagree but my wife just got nabbed doing 68 in a 45 by a municipal cop. (they had just changed the speed limit in that area) She requested a hearing. I thought the magistrate was GOING to send her to Gitmo. She explained that it was her first ever infraction and she was willing to pay the fine if he would reduce the points, attend school, what ever not to get the points. The cops and the magistrate treated her like a school girl, reading her the riot act. It appears this a major source of income for the little town. I finally had had enough of the indignation and piped up that that was enough, that it was very evident what was happening and that even a smart man knows that it is worthless to argue with fools and walked out. I was grabbed at the door returned to the courtroom and threaten with contempt of court. A little fast talking about attorneys and rights,etc.etc. I was allowed to leave. Needless to say Rt 51 N in Rostraver Twp in SW Pa does't exist to me or my wife. I will drive 100 miles out of my way to miss that stretch of road
What State are you in... Just go to Traffic school and get on with it...
