I'm probably a little late but in the hopes you still have time, GET a LAWYER! He can go through the motions and if there's a snowball's chance in Hades, you'll walk away with no moving violation and a reduced charge. If not ask for Deferred Adjudication. It's like probation and it's up to the judge whether or not he wants to go this route but most will if you don't get nasty with him/her. You pay a bit more up front, Example: speeeding ticket fine is 160 and years of higher insurance premiums compared to a 200 dollar fee for the adjudication and no record if you keep your nose clean for 90 days. One caveat. . .if you get anything more than a turn signal ticket in that 90 days, you pay the maximum for the original ticket plus the max for the second one. This works, ask my granite - headed 18 year old.
FYI. . .this works especially well for those of you who have already maxed out your traffic school priveledges for the year.
