Thanks for your thoughts - very helpful. So is my fine (yes, $272.50) only for the speeding infraction or is it more because of the construction? I am wondering if it would be less if I could successfully argue that it wasn't a construction zone. My ticket indicates he stopped me at the exact point ...

Not sure what to do. This is my first ticket. Accused of going 97 in a 60 but it was also a construction zone. Officer reduced it to 89 in a 60 as he said otherwise I would need to go straight to court (?). So it sounds pretty serious but he said nothing about dermit points. Ticket just says speedin...
