Got a ticket for speeding/driving on a revoked license and I didn't know it was revoked! Now I have court HELP?

So over the past year I've been pulled over for speeding five times. So pathetic. All of them weren't serious though only about 15 miles over the max.. Should have fought them! Anyways.. I live in Mass, so the first 3 surcharge events: 2 speeding tickets/1 traffic violation resulted in a 30 day suspension. But a few days before my 30 day suspension I get pulled over again which extended my suspension another 30 days for a 3rd speeding ticket in less than a year. Anyways.. The mail man decided it would be cool to fold my additional 30 days notification letter in half and place it at the bottom of my mailbox. (It's one of those black flat square boxes that go against the wall) - So, usually I know I have mail because it peeks out at the top. But in this case I just didn't know. I would never intentionally drive on a revoked license. So after the first 30 days were served, I thought I was good to drive. But not even three and half weeks ago I get pulled over again for going 80 in a 65. Is that a little ridiculous? This is a major highway in Worcester and people go 80 on this highway all the time. I just got docked for it. Anyways, the officer pulls me over and realizes my license is revoked. So.. I get a citation for speeding (6th speeding ticket in less than a year) AND driving on a revoked license. So I have to go deal with that one in court. So I was like positive it was a mistake - until I take my mailbox off the latch and look down inside.. and there it was. Keep in mind I'm a little (4'11) and my mailbox is a foot and a half taller than me. Anyways.. my 2nd 30 days is up in two days. I haven't gotten back my court date in the mail yet, but I was just wondering when it does happen.. am I going to jail for doing something that was an honest mistake? I know that I'm looking at a suspension of 60 days to a year with a possible fine.. but with my driving record I'm not exactly sure I look like the most innocent person. Might I add that I'm in college and am working too so it's just been a total nightmare trying to find rides! I feel like I don't deserve this at all.

5 speeding tickets and you feel all this is undeserved you need to get off the road before you kill someone youre an idiot

You don't deserve it? Seriously? You are a danger to everyone on the road with you.
Not knowing you had mail in your box is a lame excuse. You can count on your license being suspended for a year this time with huge court fees and probably a defensive driving class.

haha wow, im glad your license is being taken away if you think that going 15 over is not a huge deal and you actually think that you could have fought it.....this is not your mail mans fault for you being ignorant about getting your mail. the notice was delivered and you chose to not get mail.

none of this was an honest mistake because you obviously havent learned your lesson about driving too fast. once you learn THAT and stop doing it, THEN will i show any sympathy for you. but seriously 6 speeding tickets in a year ??? THAT is the pathetic part of your whole story. but thats on you, and no one else. they have speeding laws for a REASON... SLOW DOWN.

you should have thought about your school and work schedule before you discovered your lead foot..... thats no ones problem but your own. you do deserve what you get because you broke the law.
