1) I haven't been posting here in a while. Sorry, college is keeping me a bit busy.

2) I got a speeding ticket friday. 97 in a 70 mph zone. Question I have is, was I correct in being completely honest, polite and responsible for my actions? I mean...will that help when I tell my mother as well about it?

Honesty is always the best policy when it comes to the law, and Mothers. 

Speeding tickets are a part of life... a lot of people get them (raises hand). If you present it to your mum like it's the end of the world then she may take it that way but if you mention it with a laugh and play it down then it should be fine! good luck >____<
