If I got a ticket for 73 in a 55 and I only had to pay $75 and it didn't affect my insurance you'd see me doing a tap dance on my hood. I know this varies a lot by state, but in most east coast states I've been to that would be a couple hundred bucks and you could be sure you'd be paying higher insurance rates.
If it's convenient, go to the preliminary hearing yourself and you'll have a chance to talk to the DA. Bring a copy of your record and he should be happy to reduce the charge in a plea. I would try and get a non-moving violation (ie no points) but worst case he would almost certainly be willing to give you a 65 in a 55 which won't affect most insurance rates. Alternatively, get a lawyer who will do the same for you. He'll cost some money, but not as much as an insurance hike, and I suppose I have a slight preference for giving money to lawyers instead of traffic ticketing scams. I've done each method once and had good luck each time.
Noel, I actually did get a ticket in Montana once and it was a $40 cash fee and didn't go on my record. I think I was too shocked to tap dance. Perhaps Ohio is more forgiving as well?
