Re: Ticket!

Well, what do you think you can do? You didnt stop for a sign and you admit that. Yeah it sucks, but you arejust going to have to pay it and not get caught next time.

Re: Ticket!

It's not worth the hassle for a minimal stop sign ticket, it'll end up costing you more than the damn ticket probably. Just pay it and drive good for awhile.

Re: Ticket!

What? A stopsign ticket? Doesn't it say on the actual ticket? I know ours does here in ND, but it will vary in every state. It shouldn't be THAT bad I wouldn't think.

Re: Ticket!

Just go to court. Maybe the judge will give you traffic school. I wouldn't say fight it, but you can atleast go to court. Sometimes, most of the time your sentence is a reduced fine and traffic school. If you get that it means no points off your lisence.

Re: Ticket!

I think they are just like $50 tickets in MN, not too bad. I dont think court will help, more hassle than its worth IMO. I would rather just pay the $50 and be done with it than feel like an idiot fighting a minimal traffic ticket in court then having to go to a traffic class just to reduce the fee to $25.

Frankly it pisses me off when people always want to fight their tickets in court. I understand sometimes shit happens and cops arent always right and sometimes they will try to get you. If you fuck up, just pay the shit and take some responsibility for your actions. (not directing this at you at all, just in general)

Re: Ticket!

It's usually a waste of time to contest something like this. I know tickets burn, but save yourself the time and trouble, just pay it and be careful in the future. I have to be careful myself too; been speeding all over the place and I know my luck will run out soon

My friend just started his own armed private security company, and his first patrol car was a retired police unit that's only a few years old, and he has all the traffic monitoring sensors in it. I've never been in a police car before, but after getting a ride in it, I've been much more careful on the road. These cars have radars in a 360 sweep configuration inside the vehicle, so they know how fast anyone in their immediate vicinity is doing at any time. It was pretty bad ass. So yeah, just be careful in the future, but don't fight this one, it'll get you no where really!

Re: Ticket!

my friends here at school say its kinda dumb. they say to get an ajourment sp* that will let me write a letter to the DA explaining the situation and depending on the DA's mood he will reply with a lesser charge and if i agree to that i sign it and send it back then he sends the final fee.... so i think thats worth it...
