So what your saying is either i take the class and pay, OR, go with trying o fight it and risk loosing my opportunity?? Unless i ask the judge and hope he allows me?

Stupid cop >:| you know what pisses me off the most is, for years I've been driving over the speed limit and the day i wasn't intentionally driving fast i get a ticket! Lol

Pretty much, also think of the time you waste instead of being at work, I'd say suck it up take the online class.

All said and done fighting a ticket will cost you about 12 hours (from standing in line, court, etc.) spread out over several days. Avg speeding ticket just from my experience is anywhere between $350-$500 depending on the type of infraction (typically CVC22350 or 22351 will be in the low/mid range and account for 90% of speed related infractions). So you can do the math and determine whether or not 12 hours for $350 (lets argue the low end) is worth your time off from work.

Ofcourse OP was on the highway which I think has its own CVC altogether and probably carries a heftier fine.

Personally I fight every ticket I can because if you don't you also have to factor in cost of driving school + time spent at driving school (once again depending on infraction it could be as simple as an online course or an 8 hour driving class). The counter argument is that winning is never guaranteed which, ofcourse, will need to factor into your decision as well.
