So...... I was a bit too enthusiastic (and irresponsible) with the right pedal today and got nabbed on Route 87 doing 91 in a 65.... first speeding ticket in 9 years, and first one in the state of NY...
Would anyone be so kind as to advise on the best route to avoid points and the ticket (if possible)? I am an out of state driver (live in NJ)

Wow what a wrong answer
Always hire an attorney and tell them to make it go away at all cost. The value proposition is there in that over time your insurance rate increases will more than cover that cost. Make sure your attorney delays it twice and understands you dont want a reduced ticket you want it to have never happened. I call day before ct date as most attorneys wont remember what they are doing that day.
A lot of info in this thread. Lawyers, court dates with long shot odds, rescheduling, revoking driving privileges. All those options are more work than they are worth.
Seems to me the best path forward is to own it, pay the fines and higher insurance and just be more careful for a bit?

LEO perspective on rescheduling and hoping the cop doesn't show up- they WILL show up.
My dad and brother are LEO. They get paid overtime rates for court/travel time. There is a financial incentive for them to show up. If the date conflicts with their schedule, the judge will reschedule to accommodate the officer's schedule.

Hey gang,
Just wanted to provide an update on where things stand...
I figured the most prudent approach was to engage a lawyer to handle this situation since my work schedule won't allow me to make it to traffic court next week in Tuxedo, NY. They've entered a NOT GUILTY please on my behalf, and have mentioned that this situation that I've found myself in is rather common as many of you have also stated. I should have more info next week, and will keep you guys updated accordingly.
Really appreciate everyone's help and especially the folks that PM'd me with some suggestions, you're all gentlemen and scholars in my book!

Just hire Matis at www.Notspeeding.com. He’ll take care of you, especially if you let me refer you to him. He’s helped me several times (but it was always just be a the speed-limit sign was broken :- )).
