Long story short he pulled me over for exceeding 100mph limit (101) and gave me a ticket with a mandatory appearance in court.
Is there a chance that Judge will allow me to take traffic school to get rid of the points on the license? (even though that going over 100mph adds up 2 points without a possibility to correct violation?)
How should I approach judge in this situation? What should I say? This is the first time I was ever pulled over in the US and I feel very stressed.
Help please.

First... set your speed warning to a reasonable speed (like 75) since you apparently don't pay attention to your speedo. Next, go to court and throw yourself on the mercy of the judge, admit you were driving like an idiot, prepare for your insurance to skyrocket, and lastly... please don't ever cross the Georgia state line.

Speedlimits should be 100+mph on the interstates.
If you cant drive that fast, take the slow roads.

Such a waste of time. If only Germany was bigger.

$5,500 for the attorney
$1,400 impound fees.
6 month license suspension.

My advice, get one of those traffic specialist attorneys (now a days they are like $1,500) otherwise you will get boned.

this is very bad advice.. 25+ over the limit is a misdemeanor in California, chances of the Judge lowering the fine is slim to none.

What will happen here because of being triple digits is the D.A. in your county WILL get the case, and you WILL be prosecuted, this is not a normal traffic court situation.

If you can get the D.A. to drop it to under triple digits (and chances are you will need an attorney for that) AND get it under 25+ over, then traffic school is an option.

Anything 25+ over and traffic school is not an option, anything triple digit is a misdemeanor traffic offense.

Take it from someone who has been thru it, the laws here have gotten HARDER since 1993, not easier..

These are State Vehicle Codes, not county laws, so it will go to the Superior Court, not to traffic court, that is why you have a mandatory appearance.

I also suggest you get a ride to the court, because the Judge can remand you to custody and impound your vehicle on the spot if he so chooses.

You need an attorney. This is a serious matter.

^^^ This! very well explained. I think he got a lawyer now to represent him. This dude is not only a chick magnet but also a cop magnet now.

SO what is worse? Wreckless or Stupid? :S

I am pretty sure ANYONE would prefer to be Wreckless.

Vaseline, Money, Lawyer.

These are 3 things you are going to need.

I don't know all the laws in L.A., but I can assure you, you are going to be screwed.

Where do you come up with these stories?

damn, in canada i have never heard of a mandatory court appearance, half the time the officer wont even show up so you get off scott free, if you do show they take away all the points you would have gotten (unless it was something really bad, like 60 over) and you can always demand the trial in french which makes the judge just face palm and will usually give up and let you off the hook rather than have to get a translator and stuff.

Plead guilt. Tell the judge the car made me do it. Ask for 30 minutes of his or her time and take them for a test drive. They probably never drove or road in an outstanding sports car. You never now you may get out with a warning and a Camaro enthusiast.

Based on my frequent appearance in traffic court, the fine is gonna be around $800 with a 30 day suspension, no traffic school either.
