Plus there was only one other car on the road and it was dark. I could not have seen him at all.
Will there be points on my record?
I think I am going to court and see what the judge has to say. The fine is set at $80 but I am not going to pay it until court date. What do you guys think? Or should I just pay it?
Is it worth to hire a lawyer to fight this?
What should I do?

Well, first off you were guilty so man up and take it like a man. Unless your a girl then nevermind.
It's really not the worst thing in the world.....seriously.
I don't think you understand what a favor that officer did for you. Speeding fines for 15+ over the limit are astronomical. And in my opinion if the officer appears in court you don't stand much of a chance.
Just pay the ticket, take traffic school on-line and get on with your life. And STOP SPEEDING!!
