ok, so im drivin down the parkway to brick to pick up rims from transmaro93 and im around exit 110. im in my escort and the speedo only goes to 85 (had it pinned) so i dont really know how fast im going. im gettin toward the top of an incline im driving up and decide i should slow down for awhile, but it was too late.. i see a cop in the grass accross the divider (local/express) so i switch lanes and try to slow down without really being noticed, but i guess he allready clocked me.. i see him pulling off the grass and immediately know im screwed. 2 seconds pass and hes now next to me with the divider in between us, the divider ends and he cuts through the grass and gets behind me and pulls me over.. i give the officer my 2 pba cards (hackensack and bergen county sheriff) with my license and he proceeds to ask me if i knew how fast i was going. i replied im not so sure i thought i was going about 85.. he tells me he clocked me at 95 and most people he pulls over going 95 in a 65 wind up loosing their license. he then asks if i have any points and i tell him that i dont and he goes back to his car.. officer comes back with a careless driving ticket and tells me hes givin me a break and hes on his way..

ok now, the thing is careless is 2 points.. i only have received one ticket since ive had my license and that was when i was 17 and got in my first accident (im now 21).. that ticket was a careless driving ticket that was reduced down to unsafe driving..

id feel like a retard trying to bargain down the careless driving ticket i got because the cop gave me a break and dint write me up for speeding or reckless .. he did write '95/65' on the ticket. also, i heard that for your second unsafe driving the fine doubles, and is around 800-900 bucks..
I'm thinking of paying the 85 bucks for the careless driving ticket then taking that defensive driving course that knocks 2 points off ur license, so then i'd be back at 0 points.. if i try to fight the ticket i have to drive like an hour to court, pay court fees, and maybe get the ticket reduced.. does that make sense? what do you think im better off doing? anyone know how long i have to wait to take that course? would my insurance go up if i knock the points off asap?? i havent told my parents yet (im sure theyll love it) so im trying to come up with my best options before i break the news to them..
