Tell the clerk magistrate or judge what happened. Be honest and tell him/her that you believe the fine is excessive and that you cannot afford to pay it. Explain that you are not denying responsibility, but you do not have the financial means to pay a fine that high. Most likely, your fine will be substantially reduced, and the issuing officer will not object to it. Good luck!"

This guy isn't driving a bucket, this is a relatively new $35k sports car, and he was doing double the speed limit. I honestly don't think the judge will fall for the BS and it will only make it worse, and if you don't have a lawyer to help reduce the charges and fines, he might keep the fine as it is, seeing as how you shouldn't do the crime if you can't do the time.
That's like robbing a bank, and telling the judge you don't have that many years left to live at the age of 30, and to please reduce the sentence.
