Thanks for the info guys. As I stated earlier the ticket is on my permanent record becuase of it being a school zone speeding ticket and I did pay it the following day. However I recently emailed some lady at the traffic violations office and she told me once I paid the ticket the case was closed but she also said I could write the judge and ask him to reopen it to be discussed (which I am doing soon). Hopefully the judge is a nice guy..... and I also plan on taking the driving program to get my points taken off (which should make it look better especially since I decided to pay the money and take the time to do it). As for the insurance hike I am not worried becuase my insurance will not raise over one ticket. Wish me luck!
