It gets that low because too many kids have been hit causing a injury or death. They dont fvck around at school crossing. They dont care that your little tooth hurt, they care for is the safety of the children and it raining and you speeding in a school zone where the weather may cause you not to see a child running in front of your car, roads be slick to the point you may hit the child killing it, wont mean jack sh1t to the judge. I can promise you that. Your fvcked, you sped, in the worst of all places, on a sh1tty rainy day, I dont not feel for you and hope you get what is coming to you. To have taken the chance of hitting a child because of a hurt tooth is not a valid excuse in my book. IMO the fine isnt big enough for as fast as you were going in the conditions you were driving in.
That said though, go there pled guilty, and if this is your first ticket they will just slap your hand, most likely get supervision, but if you pled not guilty to this your gonna fuel the judge to throw the book at your for what you did and where you did it at. You wont get a slap, but I am sure since your trying to weasel your way out of it, when you could of easily took a childs life, he is going to make you ride the pain train, and give you the max he can give if found guilty going the "not guilty" route.
