I really never knowingly speed. Like I said, the speed change happens pretty fast in this location, and I actually just moved here recently. Totally my b for not reading the sign well.

Not actually a troll attempt, just get annoyed with people who blame everyone else for them not paying attention to the road, I can see where you're coming from, but never once did I blame anyone but myself <cite>green dragon posted [p:886264112] in Got my fir...

I thought about going to court to see if I could get it reduced, but I decided it wasn't worth it. The officer said on the ticket that I was going only 5 miles over when in reality i was going 19 miles over. If that's your first ever speeding ticket, I can all but guarantee they would have thrown the ticket out completely if you go to court and just own up to it and say you made a mistake and won't do it again. Even if the cop gave you a break. When I got my ticket, my only option was to mail it in pleading guilty or not guilty. I of course wanted to explain myself and would hope that the judge would let me off or reduce my fine since it was my first time, but I also didn't want to plead not guilty when I very clearly was. That's common with traffic tickets. There's nothing wrong with pleading "not guilty" in order to request a court appearance, even when you know you're guilty. They won't hold it against you, it's how traffic court is set up. Most judges and magistrates understand that the defendant is trying to catch a break, and that probably upwards of 90% are as guilty as the day is long. But you won't get a court date without pleading "not guilty" In California if you plead not guilty you are immediately disqualified from traffic school if you get a guilty verdict. It's how they strongarm you into just paying the fine and walking away. They remind you like 4 or 5 times that if you are found guilty you will get points on your record and you will not be able to perform traffic school instead. --- Que sera, sera.

Yeah, but doesn't completing traffic school make it so the ticket doesn't go against your record? If they offered an option like that in Massachusetts I'd probably take it. My goal when fighting tickets is to avoid points on my license, not fines (ideally I'd like to avoid fines, too). The points end up costing more in the long run because points affect your insurance. --- https://i.imgur.com/ZwO4qO2.gifv Bluer than velvet was the night... Softer than satin was the light...

Bugmeat 09/10/17 12:57:46 AM #61:	AllstarSniper32 posted... What is traffic school? It's just a quick and simple reminder of the traffic rules. You pay a fee, answer some simple multi choice questions and if you pass the quiz you don't get points on your license and the infraction doesn't affect your insurance rates. But not all infractions qualify for traffic school and at least here in California you can't take it too often. You have to wait a certain amount of time before you can do it again. It's a scam to entice you to just pay the fine to avoid risking an increase in insurance rates. Or possibly losing your job since many driver jobs have limit to how many points you can have on your license. --- John Mellencamp said it best "Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone." <cite>Bugmeat posted [p:886333386] in Got my fir...
