The Traffic Ticket

I got this in an email and it gave me a good laugh, so cute!



Last week, I attended the hearing for my traffic ticket I got in August. The prosecutor was female.   No questions asked, she said she would toss out the ticket I got for disobeying the stop sign if I would pay the ticket for not having the car ownership signed. I was happy with that as the stop sign ticket came with demerit points while the other one didn't. I still had to pay $110. My husband M thought I should've asked to pay less, but I didn't want to push my luck. The lady was quite nice. She did the same for another lady who had a speeding ticket and who also had not signed her ownership permit.  The day started out as nerve wracking anticipation but ended well, I thought.

You were lucky. I have had 2 tickets -- 1 for jay walking and 1 for blocking the intersection. I had to pay fines for both.

Had one speeding ticket years ago - the expensive fine plus the demerit points that came with it gave me cause to think about my heavy foot. Seems to have worked lol

I have had several speeding tickets in my life but none in the last 7 years (knock on wood).

I bet you'll never forget to sign that ownership permit again!

I so far only got a warning for accidentally having my bright lights on.

I will have to check my registration to see if I signed it!!! Thanks for the tip,

I would be terrified! I got a ticket once for not stopping properly and was furious-- I had to take defensive driving or pay $300!

Hmmm... I'm going to check the registration, too. I'd have paid like you. I'm glad it ended well. Phew!

Seems like a fair deal!

That photo is hilarious. I love the smirk on the baby's face.
