It's my first and at the time it was 5 am and just got off of work and got distracted what should I do ? Should I get my own lawyer to help me get a better chance of not getting into to much trouble ?..
A: You may want to speak to a traffic attorney that practices in the area where you received the ticket. If you were given a reckless driving ticket, which is possible at this speed, that is a class 1 misdemeanor punishable by a fine and/or jail time. Call a few ticket attorneys - most will do a free consultation. Often there is a way to lower the charge on a first offense.
