I should have asked sooner, but my court date is wednesday the 26th, so I'm just trying to get a good idea of what I have to do to take care of this in the best way possible. Thanks.

Ok, I thought it would be an issue. It was 60 in a 40 which still falls under eligibility to take a defensive driving course according to the back of the ticket. Also, I wasn't arrested, so I don't know where that guy got that from. It is my first offense, and the officer said that if he were me, he would go to court and see what I can do to fix it.

Ask The Judge on your court date for Defered Adjudication. If you haven't had any priors what this does is cuts the ticket cost in half, and they give you 6 months probation. If you don't get any tickets in 6 months. The original ticket will be removed from record.

Your asking for advise on a matter that you have not revealed enough information on.
In order to give you sound suggestions all of the particulars involving your citation need to be known. Such as; what was the posted speed limit for the area you were going through, was it residential, commercial or open highway, what was the time of day, what were the weather conditions, what was the road traffic like?
None of the answers here are really going to help you because no one knows the facts leading up to the violation.

It already is on your record. All arrests stay on your record. You can pay the fine and go on about your business, but unless you get a judge to to expunge it. It is there. Check me out. You were arrested. You now have a record. I really don't care if you believe it or not. I doubt you are sharp enough to even be able to check it.

If you are going to court on this, you will have to prove the officer was wrong in giving you the ticket. If you are lucky the officer won't show up in court and your case will be dismissed.
If you can't show the officer was wrong then you will have to pay the ticket and it will go on your record.

Call the prosecutor's office and find out who deals with traffic court; talk to them and see if there is some sort of diversion program. If not, ask if it is possible to have your charge amended to DE (defective equipment).

you can request defensive driving or you can request a deferral. You can also ask to be put on a probationary period, you just can't get a ticket for 6 months or both will go on your record.

take the safe driving course and they'll forgive the ticket...should be flyers for it in the courthouse...and once you pass your insurance will go down

if it wasn't to much over the limit they may let you take a safe driving course.take your diploma to court and they will dismiss it.

It can't be done. It will be on your record for three years. The way to avoid this in the future is, DON'T SPEED! It's not rocket science.
