Don't know about the rest of the country but can you ever ask what "we do" in Penn? Officer, can I possibly have this changed from speeding to a 3111? A 3111 is failure to follow posted signs. If the LEO sees that you've got no record of any kind he/she may give you a break as a 3111 carries a hefty fine but does not include points on your license.
Honestly pleading your case in front of a typical judge if you have history of no offenses may include a lower speed or change to 3111. Most judges do tend to be rather fair if you are honest and would include a statement of "I fxxked up and was not realizing how fast I was going in my new car". Note that does not include a statement of "wasn't paying attention"
