Q: Hi I’m 22 yo and got 3 tickets and an I-bond in june the first ticket was for speeding 21-25 mph over the speed limit.
The second one was for improper lane usage the cop claims I cut him off and 4 other people how ever I requested all possible footages from that day and there was no dash camera evidence. The 3rd one was for suspended plates which I had no idea I had because my car is under my brothers insurance. During the winter the dmv sent out a letter to my brother asking for proof of insurance and instead of showing it to me he asked my mom if I had insurance and she said I did and then threw the letter away. Never was informed about my license being suspended but I took care of it immediately it’s no longer suspended. I do think I have previous speeding tickets on my record not exactly sure how many I will try and print that out sometime this weekend. I was thinking of pleading guilty to speeding because I apologized multiple times to the cop about that and pleading not guilty to the reckless driving charge. Not sure what to do it’s a 3,000 dollar fine if I don’t show up to court.
A:
The $3,000 means $300 bond but regardless of the amount, you don't want to skip out They will suspend your license until the cows come home so you need to deal with it.
