I fully agree with Doc.
I was pulled in Virginia for 80 in a 55. I appeared before the judge, apologized for my lapse in judgement since I was staying in the flow and not watching my speedometer. Judge asked for officers statement and the officer was not there. Very nice Judge threw it out since the ticketing officer was not present. As I thanked the Judge he laughed and told me that my Father raced on the track not the highway and I should follow his lead not the other drivers...My jaw dropped....he had grown up with my Father.
Good luck and remember honesty and humility are always the best approach.
