yo.... for speeding its quite simple. Just go to court and talk to the judge. Be straight up and honest with him and don't play games. You were speeding so just man up and admit to it right up front. Tell him you were completely in the wrong, especially the area being a school zone. Admit to it all up front without giving him a chance to. Tell him you have no legitimate excuse for speeding. If asked why, only then use the baby being born as an afterthought excuse but for the most part take the spotlight away from it.

You will be very surprised how straight up these judges are and how much they are willing to listen. Just admit your fault, be responsible, and he will be more willing to see your side of the story.

I get tickets ALL the time, all are completely my fault. I've never gotten a lawyer. I just talk to the judge, be honest and admit fault. He drops the points, i pay the fine and we're both happy..... including my insurance and the DMV.
