I got a ticket in Athens for 18 over in a 30 mph zone. I am 19 and it is my first ticket. I have called the court house and solicitors office but they did not really tell me anything. The solicitors secretary told me she really doesn't know about lowering the ticket but she knows they won't lower the fine.

I screwed up and deserved the fine but would like the ticket lowered to 14 over so insurance won't find out. My court date is Monday and I am going to show up 30 minutes early so I can talk to the prosecutor. Does anyone have advice on what to say or the chances of the ticket being lowered?

Thanks for the help
