license suspended for ONE speeding ticket?

Hey,
I'm 17 years old and I got caught speeding on the freeway going 90 (65mph is legal). I went to court the other day, they took my license away for one month, and I had to pay $320(!!!!!). What's strange is, my friend who went 80 on a 35, got the same thing as I did. Why was it different for me?? It was both my friend's and mine first time getting any kind of ticket (except for parking tickets.
ehh???

How old is your friend? What kind of license do you have (full one, graduated one, or some other one)?

well, seeing as 90 is over the "20mph over the speed limit" region, they charged you with reckless driving (or should have) and, from what i hear, can then do about whatever they want to your license. Here's a tip: DONT SPEED. Or at least keep it under the 20-over mark. I always go like 15 over. Havent gotten caught yet (knock on wood), and I'm 16, so it would really suck if I got caught. Anyways, i dont think you can do anything about it. Its really just the judge's impression of you.

Since your friend is the exact same age as you, then the license doesn't matter. Your judge just judged you differently than the judge he got. Sorry man, but, try and keep your nose clean from here on out.

I got busted with 26 over and I got a $52.50 ticket. The cop let me get off with that cause i was civil with him. At anytime where you rude to the cop? I flat out said that I was speeding and not paying attention. He told me that when they pull people over they tend to treat people according to the attitude they are giving to the cop.

In WI if they catch you going 100 MPH or over they take your license away right there, impound your car, and off to jail you go - no questions asked. 90 is pretty close, so the judge probably thought - hey what the hell......
