Honey, in the future, if you are driving and realize you don't know what the speed limit is, ease off the gas a bit and in a couple of miles you should come upon a speed limit sign. Ignorance is no excuse for breaking the law, you know?

I do not have a smart phone, but bet you could have pulled over to the shoulder if not into a parking lot, and looked up on your smart phone what the speed limit is on the stretch of road you were driving.

Oh shut up.

As long as you are not required to drive on the job, then it is really none of their business what is on your driving record./

See OP's message - driving her charges is part of her job.

Diff story, but I was in an accident from falling asleep at the wheel (sober) and told my family the next day. I needed a day off that Monday (accident happened saturday) and had to go to court 3 times fir the reckless driving charges I was given. I guess I coukdve made excuses but I believe honesty is the best policy and they were in agreement. I just finished working for them actually, amicably, and the new family I'm going to work for brought those charges up when they called for a reference. My previous boss was very much encouraging for them to speak w ne directly, told them I was honest and it didn't affect my work, people make mistakes etc. And as soon as she hung up with them she called to let ne know they'd question me most likely.

Because you had no accident, id wait to mention it, but if you're suddenly taking public transit when you havent before, you're going to have to tell them something and only you know what type of people they are, ie will they understand that ev eryone

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've spoken to my lawyer who believes we can knock it down to a speeding ticket and also said the entire process could take up to six months with only 1 or 2 court hearings depending on how fast we can negotiate. By the time everything is done my year contract will be up and if I lose my license I probably won't renew so that I maintain a great reference. Then look for a job that doesnt require driving closer to my apartment. I'm hoping it just gets knocked down to a ticket or ideally dismissed if the officer doesn't show for court.
