In addition to criminal penalties that the court might mandate, conviction of certain traffic offenses will result in the loss of your driving privilege.

Your driving privilege will be revoked for at least 30 days if you are convicted of:



driving any vehicle more than 15 mph over the speed limit, if you are driving at a speed higher than 55 mph.

There you go. Sorry, all you can do is place your record in front of the court and hope they see fit to mitigate it, but the law is pretty clear.
