USUALLY IF YOU CALL THE COURT THEY WILL TELL YOU THE BAILAMOUNT OR FINE FOR THE SPEED YOU WERE GOING.
26 IS THE AGE OF ADULTHOOD.
INSURENCE WILL USUALLY GO BACK ONLY 1-2 YEARS FOR A SPEEDING VIOLATION / RECORD UNLESS IT IS DUI OR ACCIDENT THEN 2-5 YEARS.
WHAT TO DO TELL IT LIKE IT IS YOU WERE ENJOYING THE DAY AND LOST TRACK OF THE SPEED YOU WERE (WHAT EVER REASON, FOR SPEEDING AT TIME, NO EXCUSE, BUT TRUTH,)ABOUT THE SITUATION, AND THE OFFICER DID THEIR JOB. HONESTY WILLGET YOU EVERYWHERE.

If you only had one other ticket before, (5/6 years ago), it will be off your record, and your insurance will not be affected by it. However, going 72 in a 55 will be about $125 and court cost. Your insurance will go up. The amount I don't know. When you turn 25 your rates go down,(that's the insurance business). If you don't pay high rates, depending on the coverage and car you drive, then go to court and plea guilty and pay. However, if you drive a vehicle that is considered high insurable and full coverage, then I suggest you hire a attorney, for around $250.00, and they can get it dropped to noise disturbance, failure to comply, faulty equipment. Something that will not effect you driving record. You don't even have to go to court, the attorney will take care of everything. It might take 3-4 months, depending on case load. Good luck.

If it really has been 5 or 6 yrs. since your last ticket. You can surely sign up for driving class. That way you will just have to pay the ticket and it wont go on your record. They also offer the class online so inquire about that. Good Luck and slow down...hehe ;)

Since you have a good driving record, you might qualify for driving school. Call the court, and inquire.

Depends on your state. Some states allow you to remove points from your license by attending traffic school.

There are great how-to books just ask at your local bookstore. I don't remember which book I used but it saved me lots of $$$$
