Q: Got a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign. I'm 16, will I still be able to get my license?
I have a permit and I turned 16 over a month ago. I'm usually a cautious driver and i'm still very saddened over the fact that I received the ticket. I remember briefly stopping at the sign and making a right turn. As my mom and I realized we were going the wrong way, we headed back. That's when I noticed the cop behind me, so I pulled over to the side. He gave me a ticket under traffic violation, because I completely blew off the stop sign. This happened about 4 days ago, and I was supposed to get my license just the following week. Will this affect me in a bad way? Will I still be able to get my license, and do I go to court? How does the process really work? Thank you so much.
A: A conviction WILL affect you in a bad way. Contact an attorney in the county where you received the ticket to see what can be done to avoid a conviction.
