    Default Minor with Provisional License: Driving Another Minor and Speeding

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: CA
    I am 16 years old and have had my license since November of '09.
    I was taking a friend to another friend's house(who lived outside of our town) because it was AP Testing season and they wanted to study together. My friend and I both knew that this was illegal, but she said that I was her last resort and that no one else could give her a ride (both her parents work and not many of our other friends had their licenses yet). Also, I only needed to give her a ride to that other friend's house; she had a ride back.
    On the way there, I got pulled over for doing 70 in a (I think) 45mph zone. The road was wide and there were no other cars so I guess I wasn't paying attention to my speed.
    The cop said that there could've been serious problems if my tire had blown out (which I hadn't even thought about).

    This is the second time I've been pulled over. The first time, I was pulled over for speeding, and making unsafe turns, but the officer only wrote down speeding. And I recently completed an online driving course for that, so it should be cleared(hopefully).

    But now I have to go to court.
    And I have no idea what to expect.
    I'm worried that I'll have my license suspended because I'll be a high school senior this coming year my both my parents work and my brother is in college. So rides would be a hassle.

    So basically..
    What can I expect?

    You do understand what the word "provisional" means, right?
