Sorry dude but you have to be intelligent to join the AF. They don't let incompetent people pilot F-15s.

AHAHAHAHA NICE copcarcrzy! Oh btw are you calling me incompetent? Cuz if you are u gotta alot of balls for someone who probably does nothing with his life. And another thing only CO's can pilot ANY plane. If i were you i would just uninstall IE because you sir do not belong on the internet.

Right now you possess something priceless - a PERFECT, spotless driving record! It is worth protecting for future, more serious court appearances, your insurance premium, etc.

If you can keep it off your record by going to traffic school, DO IT! As an adult, I once had three tickets in less than two years. My insurance TRIPLED for several years! Ouch!

I now drive defensively, watching my mirrors and likely hiding places. I fight every ticket where I have a case or friendly witnesses and traffic-school the rest. Don't just pay it and let it be on your record.

My mom had two tickets, she challenged both. Cop (Officer Morales...stopped her both times) didn't show up because he was fired. She won the case. I am 18, it seems that I look in my rear view mirror more than on the road ahead because thats where cops are. I got lucky a few weeks ago, I was driving on South Van-Ness, there was no people around so I went up to 70 MPH when cop turned right in the opposite lane to me. My guess is he didn't pay any attention to what was happening because I blew right past him...GL with the court.
