    I was in traffic court last week and the DA made a deal with every single person who got points (even people who got up to 5 from one ticket) that if they paid $430 they could have the ticket and points dropped. The town doesn't make any money if you just pay the ticket and then pay your INSURANCE company whatever fees are instituted from your points. Therefore, they try to cut a deal with you so the town can make some money. Don't even worry about it, just go to court and try to strike a deal with them.

      Ummm...I don't think she's going to ask the judge to make a deal with her. It doesn't really work that way. If the judge wants to make a deal, then she'll have a chance, but it doesn't work the other way.

      By the way, I do wish you good luck with this.
      The secret to your future lies hidden in your daily routine.

      The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want most for what they want at the moment.

        well thanks to you people who are actually supporting me on this, this is my very first ticket, and i havent been speeding ever since i got the ticket, nor do i plan to, and ya stlunatic, i dont think that the judge is going to stike up a deal with me, i live in a pretty big city, so i highly doubt hes going to make a deal with the 113402556546 people that show up with tickets lol

            I guess you'll have to forgive the rest of us who don't think it was a great idea to do 40 over the speedlimit.

              I agree.

              You shouldn't have your liscense.

                  dont i get like a Nobel prize for breaking the speed of light?

                  save yourself the hassle and pay the ticket.

                  This is a handwritten confession and this will hold up in court.

                  And remember for next time: you have the right to remain silent.

                  YOu don't have to answer a number when they ask do you know how fast you were going.

                  confidently exclaim yes I know how fast I was going, or I was going the speed limit when you pulled me over

                      whats with authority and weird numbers?
                      Why $362 instead of $360 & why $124 instead of $125? stupid judges.

                          So, basically you learned nothing from this experience and you get to go back on the road and put people in danger. Cool.

                            Where exactly did you come up with that? Ive learned my lesson, you have no idea how distraught I was when I got that ticket, I get paranoid even driving 2 mph over the limit now, I've learned from my mistake and I'll try not to ever let it happen again.
