Slow down possibly?
Do you have a radar detector - at twice the legal limit they're not much good as the cop will nail you for the crime of "too fast for conditions" or just "reckless driving". Figure you're insurance will double if you retain your license.
When I was 16 and 17 I owned a 1973 Plymouth Baracuda with the 340 High Performance engine. That thing had more power than I had brains and after a rash of moving violations, including two that were a felony (my lawyer got them reduced) I attended traffic school and came to understand that car accidents at those speeds are not survivable. Those cars were made to go way fast but man's brain wasn't made to impact stationary objects like other cars, fire hydrants, and trees at those speeds.
Playing games with your life and really the lives of others isn't smart. See, if you hit my family while out hot ******* or speeding and do damage to them or kill them and I survive I'll just kill you straight up - honestly. That's not a threat, that's not a brag, it's the truth and a warning I guess. You'll find that your life wasn't worth that of my families right about the time your life energy flows out of your body and you start toward room temperture.
Self control is what it's all about and if a driver doesn't have any there's nothing that he can do to control the forces of physics Newton documented centruries ago. You make a choice when you run 3200 pounds of steel upto 110 miles an hour ... and you need to understand that the results of that choice are sometimes fatal.

Cmon now, they sure do..you guys see the vid with this one guy in the Z, and the state trooper came next to him to talk to him and he just GUNNED it and got away. He had some friends in an SUV filming this and they showed this video..i forgot where i saw it though.
But i'd never try this myself though.

first look at the ticket and see if there are any obvious errors or omissions on it. many times cops will put the wrong location down, if forget to write down their name or badge number. its surprising how many tickets get dismissed because of poor attention to detail. if everything looks in order then I'd get a lawyer. I'd look for one that specialized in traffic violations. you should easily be able to find one in the phone book, but I'd probably ask for suggestions on a local forum that talks about tickets. if your really lucky then the cop may not show up to the hearing and it will just get dismissed, but if he does show up, your lawyer should be able to lower the sentence. no matter what, you'll be paying some decent money for this so start saving. good luck and I hope you learn something out of it.
not sure if this was said. but at least in the state of VA if you exceed a certain
number of points against your record before license renewal you are required to
take the driving exam (written) over again. assuming they are letting you keep
your license.
+1 on getting a lawyer.
