like i stated, i dont mind the fine. i would like to keep the points off my license. if i can plead it down, dublin gets the money they want (probably more caus im sure they'll bump the fine up), and i get no points...makes both of us happy. if i would have realized the limit was 55, (which, once again, i do not travel that area and was not aware), i would not have been doing 70. its not like i was out driving like a maniac, doing 60 thru a school zone 20. i was with the flow of traffic and i got hit in a shitty speed trap that i was unaware about.
