Answer:

State Circuit Court.

This is because speed driving or driving above the speed limit is a minor offence that need not be dealt in a federal, higher court and can be easily taken care of by the lower state courts.

Explanation:

The State Circuit Court is an intermediate level court where local and limited jurisdiction cases are heard. These courts are the court systems that deal with cases that are not serious enough to be tried in the higher courts. They are also known as state courts.

In the scenario of being pulled over at the interstate by a state highway patrol car for speed driving or driving above the limit, the summons will be heard in a circuit court. This is because the case is just a minor one as compared to more serious offenses, which makes it eligible to be tried in a lower court rather than at the federal level.
