I found a few web pages for point systems. They all said you would get 6points on your license and that it would be up to the judge if you got your license suspended (anything over 25mph is worthy of it they said). I am not sure of how trust worthy these sites are though so I would go to this one http://www.in.gov/bmv/contact/
and email them with your question on points.

From my experience in GA here are the best options, remember advice is worth as much as you pay for it.

If he clocked you, did you ask for a calibration check? If he "paced" you, you are much better off. meaning he followed you to determine how fast you were going. If this is the case generally cops have to have their cars speedometer tested on a regular basis but this costs money and time so they don't always do it. If they didn't do it generally you can get out of your ticket by fighting it.

If he clocked you I would recommend getting in touch with some one called the "solicitor" at the court location. This is generally the person who is going to represent the state or county. Tell them, if this is one of your first tickets, that you have a good driving record, are willing to go to defensive driving school, and pay the fine if they are willing to drop the speed and severity on your ticket to a lesser value, maybe not even put it on your record.

I got a ticket going 25 over in GA when I was under 21, which means automaticly losing your license for 6 months. I did this with the recommendation of a friend. I ended up paying the fine, going to drivers school, and doing 24hrs of community service but it isn't on my record.

Good luck and sorry for the war and peace.
