Hi,
I got pulled over on Saturday for the first time ever on the NY Thruway...somewhere in Monroe. I was going 80 (didn't even realize it) on a 65. As soon as I saw the cop sitting on the left I immediately slowed down, but it was too late. I told her I've never been pulled over before. She was nice and gave me a ticket for going 74 on a 65. Only 9 MPH over the limit.
My questions are below:
What kind of money am I going to be shelling out? Should I contest this to possibly lower fine and wipe possible points? Will this affect my insurance? I live in New Jersey, so how does living in a different state come into play?
Should I just plead guilty?
Thank you.
