Hire a lawyer. I got a 86 in a 65 and the lawyer got me a "Prayer for Judgment" where it didn't go on my record. It was around $300 but I saved that easily on the insurance. I haven't got a speeding ticket since (learned my lesson), and that was 6 years ago.

Some areas offer the "Alive at 25" course you can take that will drop the ticket as well. That's what my brother did.

One last option, if you are desperate, is to take your car to a mechanic and get them to "recalibrate" the speedometer and get them to put in writing that the car's "equipment was malfunctioning" or "not calibrated properly." This is very popular in my area. I had a friend that got a ticket doing 101 in a 55 zone. The cop pulled him out of the window of the car basically. He wasn't drinking, but he got handcuffed and all that good stuff. Took the car to a local mechanic, got it "Recalibrated," and what do you know, the speedometer was 25 MPH off. That reduced it down to 76 in a 55. Then he went to Alive at 25 and the ticket didn't even go on his record.
