Mattoon, IL asked in Traffic Tickets for Illinois

Q: I got a speeding ticket in Mattoon Il 69 in a 45 with a must appear in court. is it possible to get court supervision?

My truck was only 4 days old and this was the first time on the high way just leaving town I was in a 55 mph that dropped down to a 45 mph before the stop lights when I seen the 45mph sign that's when I looked at the speedometer I was going 71 and I took my foot of the gas as I crossed into the 45mph didn't even see the officer till he was behind me, This was completely unintentional. The new truck's ride is quiet and smooth I should have been more mindful of the speedometer. If I was in the the old truck this would have not happened because I knew what it sounded like and felt like when it hit 55.
