In case this matters... I live in Maine.
I got pulled over on the turnpike the other day going 79 in a 65 and I got a ticket.. It's not that bad, and I don't care about the fine.. but I am NOT excited about losing my license for 30 days. My birthday is 4 months away and I'll be 18... I'm pissed! Now, I'm thinking I might contest the ticket and ask for it to be filed away, but if by any miraculous event it goes through and DOES get filed, and I happen to get pulled over in that alotted 2 year time frame, even though I would be at most 20 years old, would I still get my license taken away because this previous violation was committed while I was under 18? Please.. people who know what they're talking about, I'm trying to get in touch with my lawyer but I'm anxious. My car is my life. I'd have to find a ride to school and home every day, quit work for a month and not to mention not be able to go ANYWHERE! Some friends told me that theres no way court will let me go bcuz"theres no excuse"

Just for a little addition.. I didn't ask to be preached at for speeding. I understand that I was speeding and I accept the consequences! I want to know what I asked, and nothing but!

you should pay the fine. take the lumps now. that is what i think.

I am not sure what the law is in your state. I would say to pay the fine and then keep your nose clean for the next two years just to be safe. Just drive 65, it may take a little longer, but it would save you money in the future.

Sorry, there is no real excuse for speeding...I take it you didn't have a dying person you were trying to get to the hospital?
They do say the best lessons are the most expensive for us to learn...
