I got nailed going 86 in a 70 zone on 75 near Dalton. My uncle-in-law (a lawyer, not criminal) called about the charge and was told that the super-speeder was four points on my record and that I needed to ask the judge to go to Defensive Driving school. There was no attempt to ask to drop the speed to 14 over. I think he got wrapped around the axel on the super speeder information. I can only find that the super speeder law adds $200 to the ticket and no points. I can also go to a Defensive Driving school any time I choose, correct? I don't need ask the judge, as far as I can tell. Should I still pursue getting them to drop the ticket to 14MPH over? That would eliminate the super speeder ticket too, right? My record is perfectly clean for the last 22 years.

TimYes, a reduction to 14mph over the posted limit would remove you from the Super Speeder law and prevent this from showing on your record. It should also nix the points. You may attend a defensive driving school at any time without a judge’s order. You may want to see if the prosecutor will reduce it to 84mph , in exchange for paying a modest fine. The prosecutor/judge may not insist that you go to the Defensive Driving school, since you have a clean record!
