I am curious why it holds no points. Usually speeding in a school zone is a pretty major offense. Usually an officer does quote the speed on the ticket. Are you sure it is not there? Perhaps it does not go based on speed, but the school zone offense. I suggest going to court for it. Many times the judge will lower a conviction which will lower your fine. The judge may even drop it completley. It is worth a shot. I used to work for the DMV and I know that if the ticket holds no point value, then it will not affect your insurance.

It's a hassle, but you can explain the circumstances and why the officer could have been incorrect. I once fought a ticket in Philadelphia. The officer was driving "in front of me" by several hundred yards and said he clocked me doing 40 in a 30 zone...without any radar or vascar or any other device. The judge listened to our story and immediately threw out the case as unbelievable. You can clearly have your day in court.
