Unbelievable. :nonono: Like an idiot I was just clocked doing 68 in a 45. Because its over 15mph the Officer said court is mandatory.
He was pretty hardcore but I stayed respectful and by the end of the stop he actually helped me out. He told me the name of the Clerk (I think he said Clerk) and that he wouldn't be in court that day. I should ask the Clerk(?) to reduce the speed to where it won't impact my insurance (I guess he means points).
From there he said slow it down. I said will do, thanks, and be safe out there. When he left I noticed the back of the ticket :read: has an "X" in the boxes for Fine, Court Costs, and Total.
Sorry for asking what may be really dumb questions but if anyone could answer these I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

(1) How does this process work? I've never appeared in court.
(2) My appearance date is August 11 but the time is completely illegible. Can I call District Court to find out when I'm scheduled?
(3) Does the "X" in the boxes for Fine, Court Costs, and Total give the Clerk(?) leeway?
(4) The Officer won't be in court but I'm not looking to try to get out of the ticket. He was cool about things so I just want to suck it up and pay the judgement. Will the Clerk(?) have any problems believing that the officer said for me to ASK if it could be reduced so it wouldn't impact my insurance?
