I got a speeding ticket
I got a speeding ticket a few months ago and today was court day. I think it is better to go to court on a ticket instead of simply paying it. When you go to "arraignment" you can plead no contest and the judge in most cases will withhold adjudication on the points, meaning that you won't get any points and he may reduce the fine and allow you to go to traffic school. I thought that you could only go to traffic school a handful of times in your life, but apparently, the judge can let you go whenever. I ended up with no points, driving school and paying the ticket and court costs. That does no sound like that sweet of a deal but if I would have not gotten the points adjudicated, my car insurance would have increased. My driving record has a history of unlawful speeding, so now I will be slowing down!!!
