I got a speeding ticket after getting caught doing 69 in a 50 zone last year. The cop wrote it for only 59 though, to cut me a break. I still went to court (two hours away from home) and got it reduced to unsafe. While that was the first moving violation that I had ever received, the prosecutor and the judge both commented on the amount of times that I had been pulled over in the past, and were surprised that I hadn't gotten more tickets.

It may be worth going to court to fight - none of us can tell you for sure if the prosecutor or judge will be lenient on you. In my case, the prosecutor knew how fast I was really going, and also knew about several of the times I had been pulled over in the past, regardless of the fact that I wasn't issued any tickets.
