Cool Thanks coppa

So I got pulled cruising 80 in a 65 on rt 18. 12am, dry road, no traffic in sight and the cop just was rolling along behind me (they cruise 90), caught up, paced me and threw on the lights. Didn't even notice him there until the rollers lit up.

It's $180 and 4 points. I'm debating whether it's worth going to court over at all. I have no points, and 4 won't get me in trouble. I understand that plea deals can't be used whenever you want, there are restrictions - but I don't know for certain what they are. I think it's like one every 2 years? If that's the case I'd rather save it for something more extreme. Plus going to court would just raise the price of the ticket.

If anyone feels it's worth fighting, let me know why. One time I went to court the prosecutor threatened to revoke my license, I had 8 pts at the time (like, 1999 or thereabouts), so I've been hating showing up in court for speeding tickets ever since. (tho he did calm down and knock 2 pts off my ticket in the end)
