I doubt they'll do anything major. Just tell the truth & accept what they give you. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

However, if you tell the truth and are respectful, the judge/jury may be sympathetic and let you off with a warning or fine. I wouldn't worry about it as long as you know that you shouldn't speed again and that you let everyone involved know.♥ fabulous [ x0xfabulous0x's advice column | Ask x0xfabulous0x A Question ]
Cux answered Monday July 23 2007, 4:32 pm: I don't think you will lose your license. If Rhode Island is anything like Michigan [where I originate]- then you will merely get points on your license. I don't believe I've ever heard of anyone getting their license confiscated by the court for a speeding ticket- especially if its your first ticket ever. However- if Rhode Island is like Michigan- then your parents have the right to revoke your license until your 18th birthday. If they are strict- there is the possibility that they could do that.
Just try to follow the speed limit! =]
Asking your parents if your license will be revoked would be a good idea.. I'm sure they know your state's laws.
