If you really want advice, this is what I've always done, at least in my home state. CAVEATED WITH I've learned when it's appropriate and when it isn't appropriate to bend the speed limit, and I now make a point not to put myself in a "need to speed" setting.
You get the ticket....you show up to the court date on the ticket.....you plead not guilty......they set up another court date.....before which time you set up a meeting to speak with the city/county prosecutor. At this point, you can say whatever you want, I'm a pilot and tickets aren't good for my record/it was raining and I couldn't see the speed limit/I don't care what you say.......but if you're cool enough.....they will typically just have you pay the court fees(cheap) and send you on your way with a non-moving violation if anything. They want your money, not your license.
Has worked a grand total of 4 times in my younger years and my uncle the truck driver who taught me this, says it's worked for him more times than he can count. Say it doesn't work, well if you're poor like I was in college, you just bought yourself 2 months to get the $$ for the ticket.
