I got a similar fine and court appearance when i was 19.
I don't usually drive that fast but was d!cked around by a bike shop who said "wait for our call - when the bike is ready to pick up we will call." Needed my wheels for work and had to return dad's borrowed car that day.
Called the shop at 12.45 who said "Oh yeh - it's been ready for hours - we close in 10 minutes, be here or it will be locked up for 3 days" [}:)] Grrr!!!
Whatever the reason - I was driving stupidly.
Got the ticket - went to Freo court to cop my deserts.
The judge was an absolute condecending w@nker to most of the punters. In fairness half of them rocked in in mull leaf t-shirts and thongs so were begging for the treatment, but still he was the sort that got a chubby from abusing his position.
I wore a shirt and tie, took out earings and made the effort to look respectable.
After seeing the judge rip the sh!tter out of a similarly dressed dude, who brought a lawyer (who didn't get a word in for his +$400 fee
) I was visibly sh!t scared.
Judge could see my remorse and regret (maybe even a sense of stubborn understains) I offered no excuses and stated I was embarrassed and I got the minumum fine and points.
Lost my licence anyway as it was my final points but accepted that i deserved it - rather than trying to squirm out of it.
Yes - you

Cop it sweet and learn from it.. or shirk it, and keep being a dumb lethal weapon on public roads.
