Yep, that's my guess too. It was probably higher, but the cop was trying to keep it to a reasonable speed.

Go to court, depending on how traffic court works where you are there may be an ADA handling the States side of things.

Speak to the ADA before court starts and negotiate a plea. They have a lot on their plate for the day and are generally open to making their day easier.

Since you’ve never received a ticket it may benefit you to go to traffic court and watch the system in action.

In TX they have Deferred Adjudication.

You go to court, see a clerk at a window, they’ll offer a couple of things like online school to make it go away and even plead guilty, pay the fine and if you keep your nose clean in that jurisdiction for 30 days it goes away as if it had never happened.

I've had it anywhere from 30-90 days, but it's a good option.
