The court does not HAVE to suspend your license, but CAN do so for up to 30 days. That means if you make a good enough impression on the judge, he may not suspend your license, or may suspend it for a shorter period of time. While it is certainly possible to set a case for trial and hope the officer does not show up, 1) that is less likely on a more serious charge like this, and 2) if the officer does show up, it is probably less likely that the judge will want to give you a break on the suspension.
BTW, the scheduled fine for this is $760 ($200 fine plus assessments), but the judge can make it somewhat lower or significantly higher, and it is a 2-point offense.

Not being that familiar with California traffic law I can only use the laws of my own state.
There are penalities for speeding. However, the higher the speed, of course the more reckless and dangerous the offense.
In my state, exceeding beyond 25mph over the limit, requires a mandatory court appearance.
Additionally, the violator faces the possibility of a charge of "Reckless Endangerment" or as a minimum "Careless Driving."
Remembering you share the roadway as a privilage...not a right...with other drivers on the roads, it's not fair to other drivers that YOU should take THEIR lives into YOUR hands by driving so unsafely!
By the way....I like to show attorneys how wrong they can be by insuring I DO appear in traffic court so they can't have their case dismissed. Additionally, I insure my radar calibration is verified after each stop and prior to use. Most lawyers have done nothing more than make sure officers have learned the loopholes to avoid having cases dismissed. You have to remember...radar has been around for a long time...so have the attempts to beat radar enforcement.
Best wishes!

You need to get an atty. You're license would not be suspended in my state, but we have a 75 mph speed limit. The reason who need an atty is that the cop can be forced to prove his radar gun was properly calibrated on a regular basis. Also, there are techniques used by attys--such as continuing the trial--that make it more likely the cop may miss the court date. It's sneaky, but legal and ethical. If the cop doesn't show up for court, you win.

Thats a good question for the Judge....as he will decide that for you. You werent concerned about it when you were going over 100 mph and endangering others on the road, so why are you sweating it now? A driving license is a priveledge, not a right. If you cant do the time, dont do the crime.

I hope you can't. You should not be on the road until you grow up a little more. Maybe a month of walking will get you head out of your azz.
