This is an important question, and the explanation I would like to offer is somewhat difficult to write here is all the necessary details.

I think the current penalty is that you have to watch reruns of "The Jersey Shore" for 48 hours. Sorry, seriously, you will probably be given a fine. You might be able to contact the Court in advance to find out how much they want to assess. If you go to Court you may be able to have... View More

In Calif. these are "fix it tickets" and if you provide proof of registration by the time you go to court, it will be dismissed with a processing fee. Not usually a point count ticket, so unlikely to result in an increase in insurance premium, but I don't speak for the insurance... View More

A state trooper followed me off the highway while I was speeding. He followed me for like 30 seconds & pulled off. Never pulled me over. My thing is if I was considerably speeding, wouldn’t he have pulled me over then and there?
answered on Jun 5, 2023
This is a good question. One might expect a reasonable trooper to conduct a stop, request credentials, verify the person’s identity, and decide whether to issue any tickets. But police have been known to mail the tickets to the person believed to be driving. So it is possible that tickets will be... View More
