If she was not riding a motorcycle than that charge should be dismissed.
I recently got my first speeding ticket going 82 in a 65 and was not sure to send in a plea within 48 hours. Can I go to the town clerk to establish my plea before court or do I still need to send it in?

The courts do not hold you to the 48 hours response time.
If you look at the lower left hand of the ticket you should see a date by which you need to respond.
Even if that date has passed, you will not be suspended for at least one month
Police officer was using a radar. Caught me going 15 mph over the speed limit 4-06 (a) (1)

This is a 4 point violation. I would recommend pleading not guilty and requesting a hearing
answered on Feb 8, 2018
The ticket will not appear on your record until you either plead guilty or are convicted after a hearing
I got a ticket in March of 2017, but the court date isn't until March 2018. If I am found guilty (or change to a guilty plea to avoid going into court) will the points on my license be assessed as starting on March 2017 or March 2018?

The 18 month period where points are assessed goes back to the date of violation.
Got pulled over for speeding doing 16 MPH over. Wanted me to plea guilty by Oct 23. I never plead. Received a letter in mail saying I owe X amount of dollars for ticket. I called to pay ticket I live in FL and got pulled over in NY by the way. They are saying regardless if I am out of state... View More
The letter requests I see someone for a Pre trial. The ticket was issued in November 2015 and I sent back a not guilty plea right after I received it. I just got a letter in 2018 for a Pre trial!

The delay in scheduling the conference is not grounds for dismissal. At the conference, you or your attorney will have a chance to conference the case with the Town Attorney and negotiate a plea to a reduced charge with less points
I was never in Queens and have no idea where the PO says I made an improper turn. If I don't know the location, how can I properly and fairly defend myself?
answered on Jan 11, 2018
Incorrect address is a valid defense to the ticket.
However, you must plead not guilty and request a hearing. At the hearing you should move to dismiss for incorrect location

No. The Traffic Violations Bureau has the right to reschedule the hearing in advance based upon the officer's availability.
