Traffic School - Ticket In One State - Live In Another

A lawyer? For a speeding ticket? Really?!? Where does all this money come from?

My husband with a PERFECT driving record for more than 40 years got a speeding ticket here in NC ---

His license was suspended, we had to travel overnight back to the 'scene-of-the-crime' to go to traffic court and pay a whopping fine (he was going 10 miles over the speed limit)
Points on his license, increase in insurance, etc.

After the whole thing was finally over, he wishes he'd hired a lawyer ($150 around here to get the traffic ticked 'dismissed')

I thought our teen-agers would think it hilarious that 'Mr. Perfect
Driver' had a ticket but they were offended (it was our college-age son who later explained the lawyer thing -- obviously he was an expert in traffic tickets!)

Bob called to ask about the 'court date' and the call was transferred to 'criminal records' -- he was horrified to be in 'criminal records' as he is definitely a law-and-order kind of guy!!!

We have a friend in Maryland who often gets speeding tickets -- she opts for 'community service' and says she actually gets some pleasure from cleaning litter from city parks for an afternoon -- to each his own!

My friend got a speeding ticket in Illinois, paid it & it never showed up on his Indiana record..... wait it out, if it is turned into your insurance, then you can attend the traffic school in California. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! Hope you luck out & it never shows up on your record! (at least you did the honest thing and paid your ticket!)

Verity- you can have a MAR done in NC to change that mess. You want to PM me where you are I will see if you are close enough for us to help you.

I got a ticket in Utah once that was never reported to my insurance.

I just hated the fact that I had to write out a $130 check to the Town of Mantua.

Tomorrow we're going to call the CA DMV to see what they say.
