Received first ticket ever. Doing 44 in a 25. How do i go about not receiving points on liscence or insurance. Have a squeeky clean driving record.
Hey Kari-Lyn! Just go to court on your court date and ask the DA if he will change the charge to “Improper Equipment” (IE), which is not even a moving violation. If he does that, you will pay a fine of like $200 or a little more and NO POINTS!!! NOTE: It may help to bring in a copy of your beautiful driving record just to show how good you’ve been! I’m pretty sure that’s all you need to do BUT…. if the DA is unwilling to do that, try asking him to reduce the speed to 34/25. That will give you 2 license points BUT NO INSURANCE POINTS!!. Last, there’s the “Prayer for Judgement Continued” (PJC) which is kinda like a pardon from the judge but I always say save it until you REALLY need it since you only get one every three years. Hope that helps! BTW: If you don’t feel like going to court yourself, try posting on BernieSez.com!
