The one this thread was started for does not really seem like one to me, though.

hey mr. pissy pants...i'm not making excuses, i WAS speeding. i'm just trying to figure out what i can do about it. i'm a citation newb, i'm just trying to get some info. is that okay with you?

TOO BAD!

I got caught doing 94 in a 55 two Decembers ago.

Paid nearly 400 dollars total.

My insurance didn't go up, though.

I got a lot of points, though (8-9).

and in georgia and in texas and in oklahoma

... ya.. not me.. nooo.. nevar!

but, i dunno the deal with me... i got all those but my insurance never found out... i just sucked it up and paid... i think getting them in different states helped... 4 down 46 to go!!

btw.. my first which was in FL 1998... 108 in 70.. cop wasnt very nice ... did driving school reduced ticket from 270 to 220...

btw sorry ameila...

i got 1..... 2 yrs back.... 93 on a 70......

did defensive driving right after that..... got a discount on the ticket... and the insurance didnt go up cause of the freaking boring 6 hr long class.

iirc the national minimum is $5.15, but i'm guessing pro works as a waitress, where the national minimum is like $2.35 or something.
i work delivery and get $5.00/hour + tips.
heh i've been pulled over plenty of times
ticketed twice, paid both in full and my parents never found out about them (i was 16 for the first one, week after i got my license, and the other one was senior year in high school)
after working delivery for what like 5 months, i've completely changed driving styles. all about sticking a solid 5-7 over (cops in this town are ruthless...8 over and your ass is screwed), knowing all traffic laws in full so you can exploit them, and being agressive but smart about it
idk i just don't speed anymore for the most part

Isn't figuring out a way to avoid having to pay the ticket similar to looking for an excuse?

dude i'm not figuring out a way to avoid paying it, i'm just trying to understand the process of what to do, how to pay it, what difference defensive driving makes, etc. where did i ever say i was trying not to pay it? what is it about TA that makes everyone want to argue!?

i know i call the courthouse or whatever after 5 days...but how do i find out how much it is? and do i not have to pay it if i take defensive driving? i just haven't gone thru this before, i need some help.

Heres what you do.

Stop whining and be happy you dont live in New Jersey.
