I would see if the local traffic court has a web site, it is highly likely there is one or more for your area, or call the court or county clerk to see if you can get more information on the ticket.

No matter what I would surf around a little an try to get some information on worse case and read the notice / citation carefully. Also find out if you can mitigate the fine and/or points by going to traffic school for that kind of ticket. 8-16 hours of traffic school is better than even 1 point.

Good luck, I remember my first ticket, speeding also, in "those" days for the speed I was going I had to go to court, but I just got a fine and points.

Another thing to bear in mind is that you could go to court anyway and ask for probation instead, since its your first offense.
