The officer was right. They DID give you a break. You are VERY lucky that they didn't cite you for a higher speed and earn you a reckless driving charge on top of the speeding ticket. Reckless driving charges are CRIMINAL charges, not just a mere traffic ticket, and those stay on your criminal history, NOT just your driving history. More @Wikipedia
