I was coming home from picking up a pizza and going pretty fast to keep it warm by the time I got home.
I got busted going 77 in a 45!!...ouch!!
It's a $188 fine and I will probably have to go to a departmental hearing for excessive speed(31mph-over).
Does anyone know what they usually do?
I think they have a choice of:

1. taking a safe driver test
2. re-taking driver's license test again
3. 30 day suspension

Has anyone gotten busted for going this fast and what was the punishment?

My G/f was pissesd!! I said "hey, at least it was in your Taurus and not the mustang or I would have been going even faster!!
She didn't find any comfort or humor in that.
