Your idea about the 3 hour class is great, if the county offers it!
I got pulled here (Hickory, NC) in Catawba County for 47 in a 35 and was able
to take a "Defensive Driving" class that erased the ticket. However, I got
pulled this summer in a county about 3 hours from here (don't remember which),
that didn't offer the course. The result was court, for 68 in a 55.
Here's an idea : The lawer that I had this summer had me get the
speedometer on my car checked. It was off by only 1 MPH, but that was enough
for the charge to be changed to Driving With Faulty Equipment. That didn't
add any points to my license or raise my insurance. When I got pulled for
this, it was on VASCAR not radar.
A friend of mine here said that radar has an error of +- 5 MPH. I don't
know if that's true (and don't believe it personally), but it might help.
Good Luck!!
