That's all great info, guys (Spokane seems like the place to get tix) but there is the whole idea of taking an entire day off to go to this court date for wsh.
I do have a hard time believing that they have continued to let you off for such aggressive driving for 25 times in 8 years. I have tickets well into the double digits but over a much larger span and a much larger geographical area. However, 90% of them were when I used a lawyer and they were thrown out. I've never gotten a ticket in Spokane though, so I have zero context.

ok ok, take it from a pro here.
I have about 25 tickets on my record in spokane, from 16-24 years old. hehe
Send the ticket in, Contested. You will get a court date, SHOW UP, and the judge will ask you 3 questions.
*Do you want to plead guilty, and mitigate (reduce fine amount)
*Contest the offense (you NEVER win)
*Speak to the City procescutor (YES YES YOU DO)
What will happen is that you will pay a fine, but you tell them "I dont mind paying a fee I wish to have it changed to a NON moving violation"
They say, "Well based on your record we can do that. hows expired tabs sound?"
Sounds good to me! $101 Fine. This was just two weeks ago for a 95 in a 60

Thanks for all the input. So youre saying I should show up and ask to speak to the City prosecutor and then what? That same day or...? Just trying to clarify for myself? It was in Spokane County. He was sitting in between two berms and I had just accelerated for whatever reason from 75-80 and it was slight up hill...Just dont want it on my record for 3 years...

Spokane IS NOT the place to speed. They have too many cops for the population and they are seriously bored. Once I get east of the cascades I stick to 7 over unless I'm feeling squirrelly. They will pull you over for the dumbest things. I had a cop heading EB on 90 go through the dirt in the divided highway and chase me down WB on 395 right by Ritz because I had no front plate. I wasn't speeding or anything else, just no front plate. Which was followed by a vehicle inspection on the side of the road because I also had aftermarket exhaust.
Good luck on the deferment/ammending of your ticket.
