I think you have other issues besides insurance...

wear jeans and a shirt with lots of holes in them. that way, the judge will pity you and let you off.

Personally, I would wear a suit. Depending upon state, 19 over could be considered reckless driving.

Just hope the cop doesn't show up.

Dress nicely, refer to the judge as "your honor", maintain comfortable eye contact, explain that it is your first offense and you'd like to find another way to receive punishment short of having points tacked on your license. I believe there is a smaller penalty for "failure to obey traffic control device" speed limit sign, that may get you only 2 points.

I hope you do get points. 19mph over the limit? At least you didn't hit anyone.

And wear something purddy that shows some thigh. The boys in cellblock H will make sure you are treated well. ;)

Try an insanity plea. You will have to sell it by acting completely bonkers.

They may take away your license and put you in a hospital for observation for a month or two, but at least you are not likely to get points on your license.

Good luck! (kidding aside, I really mean that)

DUI while 19 MPH over? Its a mandatory 6 month license suspension. There're not going to go easy on you for drinking over the limit let alone going 19 over the limit. I mean, you must of been really hammered to be over the limit.

Dress business casual.. or as a clown, it doesn't matter.

Be polite, there really isn't much else to say. You shouldn't even have to say anything, your attorney will do all the talking. They'll suspend your license and you'll have to pay a fine. Stay clean and you'll get your license back in six months, hopefully.

I hate to feed the trolls, but McBaine's posts are the funniest thing I've read all day.

BTW good luck Aharami.
