I wanted to let you know that the situation with my traffic citation had a happy resolution. I hired a lawyer, an attorney who lives in that county and specializes in this type of thing, and he represented me at court. I did not have to appear myself (thank goodness, since it's 3 1/2 hours away) and he was able to get my charges reduced from "wreckless driving" to "defective equipment", a non-moving violation. What a relief!
But you can bet I will be keeping a close eye on my speedometer from now on! I ended up spending in excess of $500 after the fines, court fees, and the lawyer. I am just grateful that I will not have any negative points on my license or a misdemeanor on my permanent record. Hiring a lawyer was definitely the way to go!
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers, and be careful not to speed ;)
