Yes. He's got you on the 15 over rule. If you are convicted of that it is an automatic 30 day ban as a minimum, plus fines. If I were you, I would be doing all it takes to get it down to the correct charge.
You might find a lawyer who will give you a free first consultation.
Good luck

I'm confused by the lesser than 80. Do you mean you were driving slower than 80 by your speedometer?
If so you are going to have a hard time proving it. The cop clocked you on the radar doing 80 so unless you can prove his gun was malfunctioning you can't prove that you were doing less than 80. Also your speedometer could have been off. Just because it said you were doing say 78 doesn't mean you were actually doing 78.

No lawyer. Just get and extension. When that is up, go in person and get another extension. When that period is up, contest the ticket. By the time your court date is due, its been 3 months, and the cop couldn't remember you from Adam. They won't take a cop off of the street to salvage your $100 ticket when he can be out there writing $1000 worth of tickets in the same amount of time. Done it, me and my son both a number of times. Always dismissed. Even if the cops shows up, you are no worse off than before, you will pay no more if found guilty.

Depends. If you want to fight it, then probably you do. A man that represents himself in court has a fool for a client. But try to find out the fine, and then the increase in insurance costs, and weigh that against the cost of the legal fees. It might be cheaper to take the hit and move on.
Any way, if you were speeding, why not just admit you were guilty and take your penalty like a man, rather than fighting to dodge it?

If this is your first time getting a ticket, then ask for a "prayer of judgment" For the first time offender you have one chance at getting out of it like that. If this isn't the first time get a Lawyer! Because that amount of speeding over the limit goes against your license!

Go to a place that does certified speedometer calibrations and have your speedometer calibrated. Often you find that your speedometer isn't exactly correct and most Judges will take this into consideration when determining your fine.

You need to pay the ticket, and count yourself fortunate.
Do you know how many feet your vehicle goes if you look away for even a second?
