First off let me say I did plea guilty by mail to the ticket. I am not complaining about it or any of that and I know I was 100% at fault for this.
All I want to know is what may/will happen as a result of the ticket. but I guess I should say what happened in order to give you a better idea of what it is for.
I got out of college late today and I have a job that is 40 miles away from where I go to class. As I was leaving and maybe a mile or so away from college I was doing 63 in a 45 zone. The roads are like the old country ones, paved but no houses or anything for miles. well as I was getting into town which is 10-15 miles from college and slowing down I saw a cop in my rear view mirror flying towards me without its lights on or anything so I thought I was fine and just causally kept driving doing the speed limit and stopped at a stop sign. As soon as I stopped he turned on his lights and I obviously pulled over. He steps out asks me for my license and registration I give it to him then he asks if I knew why I was pulled over and I said yes for speeding, he asked if I knew how fast I was going and I said between 60-65 and he said yeah somewhere in that range. Then he told me he was A state trooper asked if I had any warrants or any prior tickets. I said no as I have never been pulled over before and I was just trying to make it to work on time. He told me to hold on and he would be right back. So he went to his car checked my info and all that good stuff. He comes back and says that he respects the fact that I go to class full time and also work, so he said I'll cut you a deal and I wont give you a ticket for speeding. I said thanks alot sir and then he tells me instead that he is giving me a ticket for unreasonable speed/special hazards. I obviously have no clue what that even means but I assume its better then almost 20 over the limit. He said I wont get any points on my license, or license suspension or any of that but I had to either appear in court or mail back the ticket with my plea of either guilty or not guilty. I said ok and I was on my way.

Because any of us would say yes officer, that was me doing a buck fifty. Please take me to jail and take my license and the next ten years of my life. Not me
