Pages (2): « 1 [2]

I got a parking ticket for parking on a street that doiesn't exist. council writes tickets but refuses to do anythign to clear it up. tried writing a letter to state debt recovery office, explaining that the street doesn't exist so I clearly could not have partked there, they ignore it, meaning I either have to pay or take time off work to go to court.
sounds like some dodgy wheel clamp operation from an episode of the bill, but that's our legal system for you.

I think they should let people park almost where ever they want as long as it's not blocking a road or anything. Instead of some fat rich slob getting some special executive parking spot, it should be more of a first come first serve thing.

they wont call you but they will send you a notice in the mail. at least they do here in cali.

I don't think I want to get any kind of tickets. Hopefully I won't be doing anything stupid when I start to drive.

jesus $530 for a speeding ticket.

same story as the last 900 "traffic tickets thread"

i ran a stop sign at midnight after watching The Grudge.
Cop pulled me over. I don't know much about police stops, so he was in his car using his spotlight. I was like "ok" and i put my hands in the air.
He comes over, says i ran the stop sign. "sorry sir"
takes out his ticket book, then asks me "are you going to school son?" and i said "ya."
"good grades?"
"A's and B's"
**thinks** "you gotta be careful this late son. two people making a mistake at that sign woulda killed ya son."
"sorry sir."
"take care"
and he left me alone

that's what everyone says...and thinks. I was scared to death of getting in an accident when I first started. 6 months later, I made it from Chicago to St. Louis in 3:25 (mapquest tells me 5:03)

Last time I got a ticket it almost cost me the Cannonball Run!

They are usually super slow in regards to contacting you about failing to appear like you should realistically expect something in the mail in a matter of months perhaps.

But they will automatically start increasing the cost of the ticket and by now they might already have a warrant out for your arrest.

Being late on a ticket is no joke! Especially in your case.

you need to sort that out.

in louisiana you might've had a warrant already. and if you didn't pay, they'd send you a little notice in the mail to appear in court on a certain day for arraignment. miss that, charged with contempt of court and a bench warrant is served.. bench warrants are the ones they actively go about arresting your ass.

again, don't know how it works there.. but it's probably a good idea to see about paying/doing whatever else.

i would just pay it and hope that they cancel the warrant for your arrest once they get the money.

i got a speeding ticket in NY and never received the court date before i moved out of state. right before i moved i thought about trying to contact them about it, but decided i'd just take off and hope that it never came back to fuck me in the ass... so now i always joke with my friends in NY about how i cant move back there since there's a warrant for my arrest.

the warrant is canceled when payment is received.

haha good one.

Originally posted by medinaM5 So back in January I got a $530 speeding ticket for going 97 in a 70 (yeah yeah, I was late for work). Apparently I had 15 days to either send in the money to pay for the ticket, or send the ticket in so they can assign me a court date. Time went by and I don't know how but i completely forgot about it. It's now March 8, about a month and a half since I got the ticket, and I have yet to send in the ticket for court date or pay the fine. No one has contacted regarding it, so my question to you is wtf should I do? Flame away if you must

they'll send you something in the mail i'm sure. you'll get your license suspended if you wait too long. that's what happened to me

wait wtf how long ago was this?


That kind of stuff usually ends up bitting you in the ass one day when you least expect it when you're doing a random administrative thing.

Normally NY state should contact the licensses issueing states BMV and notify about FTA resulting in you having to return your license to the BMV or face criminal charges etc etc

If the license was issues in NYC, you left the state and got it renewed in Wisco or whatever I'm amazed it hasn't come back to you just yet!

In 2000 or so my father was getting his license renewed in Ohio but they couldn't do it because there was a warrant out for him in New York state for a parking ticket he failed to pay a couple years before ....
he had to get it taken care of before Ohio could issue him a new license

well if you mess with Uncle Sam, you gotta pay up.

hmmm i'm pretty sure it was sometime in the spring of 2002, and i got my WI license in the summer of 2002.

i was actually a little paranoid when i went to the DMV in Milwaukee because of the outstanding ticket... but i had zero issues.

my guess is that there wasn't a warrant in the system yet because they had still never sent the court date. i've known people in NY who got pulled over and ticketed, but didn't actually receive a court date in the mail until over a year later.

I'm going to share a secret with all of you. I have 7 speeding tickets in past 2 years but I have no point on my license and my insurance is the same as it was before the tickets. Plus in California after 5 points they take your license away.
When you get a ticket for speeding and (lets say)it comes out to be $300. Mail the check for $310 or some small amount over the fine. The system will send you a check back for the difference. Do not cash that check just burn it or something. Points are not assessed to your license until all financial transactions are complete. If you do not cash the check, then the transactions are not complete. The system has received it's money and will no longer bother you. P.S this works in every state because the system is used nation wide.

Just thought some of you might want to know this.
