Ask to enter a guilty plea to a lesser charge. Remember, they just want your money. You don't want this to cause your insurance to sky rocket. Most courts will work with you as long as they get paid.
Excellent advice - start the driving school THIS week if you can, they are going to make him do it anyway and bringing certification of the completed course will likely help mitigate the damages
You need to make sure it is a state approved course. You may also want to make your son log some community service, you should be able to get him plugged in at a local church (to serve food to the needy, volunteer at a local school to pick up trash or do yard work, etc) I would make sure he has at least 20 hours, 25 or 30 would be better
Other than logging some community service, the only other advice I can give you is see if you can get the DA to accept a "nolo contendere" plea
A nolo may save headaches in insurance and his license
Good luck

Nolo won't help on the insurance.
Getting the speed reduced is the only goal there (as another has said... pay the full fine but accept a reduced speed if that is what it takes)
