I don't place a lot of hope in lawyers in this sort of case. I went before a judge years ago for 90mph in a 55 (gas guzzling limit, not safety limit) and the guy in front of me was before the judge for 100mph in a 55. He had a lawyer, I did not. We both fared identically, except he ponied up $10 more, $1 for each mph over the limit faster than me, and of course lots of money for the worthless lawyer. I agree, go with humility and take your lumps.
Oh and yeah, it is stupid. My nickname for speeding tickets is the 'stupidity tax'. Sorry to say, I still pay it about every 18 months.
