So I got my first speeding ticket...

[E53fan16]

As the title states, I got my first speeding ticket. I have had clean driving record for many years. I'm basically seeking your insight on the best way to proceed with this.

Sidenote: I was not in my x5, I was driving my e90 M3.

I was on my way to cars and coffee in the am, and yeah I was driving a little spirited here and there, but nothing over the top. I do not have a radar detector and I normally use the Waze app. However, my Waze app stopped working a few months ago, so I been driving around without any detection.

I was in the middle lane doing about 65 mph, but this annoying dude in a Mini Cooper that was following my every move started playing me too close, so I sped up and moved to the right maybe around 75 mph at that point, and then I noticed the state trooper from a distance off to the right shoulder facing forward. I dropped a gear opposed to hitting the brakes. As soon as I passed the trooper the lights lit up and the squad car proceeds to pull out. My gut feeling told me it was me, and my gut was correct. The trooper slowly maneuvers up behind me and tells me to pull to the right. She comes up to my passenger side window and asks, "do you know why I stopped you?" I replied I'm not sure. She replied "you were doing 80mph" "Do you know what the speed limit is"? I told her I was unaware that I was going that rate of speed. She asked for my license and registration. I hand her everything, including my PBA card( long shot)After 15 minutes, she comes back and hands me the ticket. She proceeds to tell me that she reduced the speed to 70 mph, and something about if I pay it early the fine maybe less. I was annoyed at this point so I did not even pay attention to what to she said about the fine. I politely mentioned out of curiosity, how come no warning? She replies how about being honest about what you were doing.

My concerns are the four points that will be on my license if I plead guilty and pay the fine. How will the points affect my insurance? What's the best way to proceed? Traffic lawyer?
