well...
1) if your record is really bad, get a nice lawyer and you will walk away with 0 pts and maybe a tiny fine.
2) if your record is clean, ask to put this ticket under advisement and the judge will take your nice and clean record under consideration and dismiss the ticket with the warning that if you get another ticket within the year, both tickets count and a fine is levied
3) hope the cop doesnt show up and the ticket gets dismissed.
look on the ticket and see if there is a R with a circle (in MI, it indicates radar detector) and usually you can't do much. State trooper's love my valentine 1 hahahaha.

Re: HELP speeding ticket
Check your state law for the point system being used for violations.
In GA, speeding less than 15 mph over the limit (79 in 65) carries no points, and courts do not report 0-point violations to DMV. As a result, these tickets don't show up on your MVR record, and thus are not visible to insurance companies.
If your state has similar law, and if insurance rate is your primary concern (mine is :P), it might be worth your time to go to court and talk to the prosecutor to get 1 mph knocked off in exchange for a guilty plea and (possibly) slightly higer fine.
Just my $.02 worth.
