uurrggh... get ready dude. Thats a pretty serious ticket. Here in NJ, 
thats one of the biggest tickets you can get. Its like 8 points and 6 
gazillion dollars! It will always be your word against his and in the 
court, the cop always seems to be friends with the Judge.  When I fought 
mine (accident when I was 17), they asked me to tell them what happened, 
so I described how when the car began hydroplaning, I lost control. The 
judge said to the cop 'my wheels were in contact with the ground, I 
didn' hydroplane- did you?' The cop replied 'No, I got to work- and the 
accident scene with no problem'  It was like some sort of comedy sketch.  
I said ' did you have to make any emergency stops while travalling at 45 
mph?'  There was no answer, and I got blamed for everything (i was also 
the youngest).
So, talk to the guy who's supposed to represent you, and try to get it 
lessened. Maybe you can get 'careless driving' which, around here, is 2 
points and only 6 billion dollars. The worst thing is those points- they 
stay with you like Herpes (no, thats gross..howz about Luggage?). Watch 
your insurance rise-   It really sucks.
Good Luck!
