It all boils down to which state you live in, mood of the judge, your prior record if any, if cop shows up.
A good friend of mine got a ticket for 125 in a 55(was probably going faster) in MD many years ago. Represented himself, cop didn't show up, no fine or penalties imposed.
If the state or area you live in is known to come down hard for things likes this it may be wise to get a lawyer.
Sometimes the judge will proceed even if the cop doesn't show up...
On a side note, I don't see the problem with occasional speeding if done away from other cars or people on big straight roads, only possibly endangering yourself.
What I can't stand is reckless driving that can effect others!
To the lame-o's putting the OP down for speeding, come on like you've never in you life sped on a public highway?! I would expect comments like that on a Prius forum...
