First time pulled over
Long story short was doing 52 in a 35 (I thought it was a 45) in courtland on the way to the airport. I’m 24, grad student, never even been pulled over before. Was at 4 points, used off the record lawyer, was only able to get a plea deal to reduced to 2 points. I was honestly expecting a full reduction to 0 points considering this is my first ticket of any kind and my first time being even pulled over. OTR lawyer being entirely unhelpful in explaining my options to me basically saying take the plea or dont. I’m from Florida originally (yes ik, there’s a reason I moved away). Would driver school prevent insurance premiums from going up at all? How would I let the judge or whoever know this? Should I take to court maybe?
Extra context - I’m a very broke grad student in an extremely time consuming program about 45 min away from cortland
