You just write them a check for $22,348 and that's it. Actually, it either says on the back of the ticket how much to pay and where to send it, or you'll have to call to find that info. What the hell we're you doing?

Technically, going 10 mph over the posted speed limit is reckless driving. 100 mph on any road more than qualifies for reckless driving. If the officer only issued you a citation for speeding, consider yourself extremely lucky. Depending on your past traffic record, you may qualify a defensive driving course. If the court offers the course, take it with a smile on your face. It will save points on your drivers license and your auto insurance from tripling in cost.

Call the clerk of court and ask for a defferred judification if it's your first ticket in that county. That will dismiss it from your record which will help with insurance, your DMV record is another thing, you just got a lot of points that count against your DL. I'm suprised you didn't go to jail..
