Hi,
I am a Indian Graduate student in Austin, Texas (Texas license). I came here (NY) for the long weekend. I was pulled over by a cop when he asked me the speed I was going at. Since I was driving at 80 - 85, I said it was around it. He said its 99mph and gave me a ticket.
I have been issued a ticket: Speeding (Gen 101) under the subsection 1180D. Also the subsection has a statement that I made "I was going at about 80 (mph)". The ticket also has a section for pleading guilty or not and has to be mailed in a months time.
I am really terrified and would like to know what I can possibly do. How do I identify if it is a reckless driving ticket or not? What will be the repercussions? Please help me out.
Thanks,
Bharath
