Re: I finally got a ticket :(
I've been in law enforcement for many years. There has been a lot of good advice given to you by the members of the forum. First you must tell your parents. You were only doing 10 miles over the limit. I'm surprised that you were not just given a warning to begin with. With the computers in the Cruisers these days, the Officer probably knew your driving record when you were issued the citation. If you handle yourself properly and dress respectfully of the court, you can plead no contest and request that the judge "withhold adjudication" since you have a clean driving record. This would mean only the fine would need to be paid, no points. I can't speak for all judges, but most that I have seen in my career would probably withhold under those circumstances. Good Luck!
