Bad news..but that bad at all. Your perfect driving record is your best defense, the non working speedo should be brought to attention and the driving school will keep you from having any points issued. They may throw it out but that is a large "over amount" If you would like, I will be happy to make you a chart of tach revs=MPH for each gear in increments of 500RPM if this will help you...until you get the speedo fixed.
I have made it a point to memorize all the hidden speed limit changes in my area and casing the roads for where speed traps exsist. An example is the trip to work during rush hour on the boulevard. Their are 3 places they set up radar and over the last year, set them up at random. Almost every day, someone passes me doing about 43 or so in the 35 zone and a cop walks out in the middle of the road and stops all cars, points out the offender and motions for them to pull over to the curb. They are strict in places here. I am so familiar with it that I do 31MPH through those places and even have the cops waving at me..they recognize me as the "slow poke". I actually feel they think I am doing them a favor (same cops) because my 29 to 31 makes other drivers get agitated and they blast around me, and then get the ticket. Afterall, they CAN site you for doing a very few MPH over.
You will make it thorough this one unscathed this time. Next one...well, you will get points. That is certain.
Good luck Man!
