Do not pay the ticket, and don't go to court yourself. Going to court by yourself is just going to piss off the judge.
Get an attorney, and have him hammer out a deal. He's not going to get rid of it, that would too much to ask.
But he may be able to get the ticket reduced. You were 15+ over, an attorney might be able to get that reduced to 10 or under, which will work for you in the long run.
I don't know how things work up there, but here in Texas, you can get deferred adjudication on tickets like speeding. Even with a CDL...but you can't get it without an attorney....the DA will not do it for you. You have to have a attorney.
I found out the hard way. I did a couple of tickets without an attorney, and now I'm stuck with them for another 3 years. And that, my friend, is what screwing me in this economy, when trucking companies no-longer need drivers like me.
Protect your drivers license at all cost, or for as long as you want to drive a truck.
Good luck.:thumbsup:
