I do not have any prior tickets.
I owe nothing. Would add money if I did need to. My account isn't negative just has 6 dollars in it and I guess that's not good enough for them. Is that even legal.
One rep told me that they don’t do that anymore and it won’t affect my suspension. Another customer service rep told me that yes I need to turn it in with a form, but it won’t impact my suspension. I saw that the law changed in 2018 but I’m confused. I’m in college and my dad just gave... View More

It's possible that the officer did not have sufficient evidence to establish intoxication at the time of the encounter, or they may have chosen to issue a citation instead of making an arrest based on their discretion and department policies. Keep in mind that law enforcement decisions can... View More

I understand that you were in a distressed state due to your sister and mom being in the hospital, and I sympathize with the challenging situation you were facing.

Also am i likely to recieve a probation violation for this? The officer i was pulled over by said i should have nothing but a small fine to pay, this is my first traffic violation and would be my first probation violation, is it likely my probation officer would let me off with a warning?

Many other factors will determine outcome. You are on probation for what? You have a license but did not have it with you? Your license is suspended? All have differing results. Best to discuss with your PO before he gets a report from DMV. I recommend you contact several attorneys in your area... View More

When you are issued a traffic citation the PD can arrest you and take you before a magistrate for arraignment; or you can sign a "promise to appear" and pledge to willingly go to court. Failing to appear on that promise is often a more serious offense than the traffic ticket, and will... View More
I received 2 traffic citation points, today. The charges are Restraint System (I had my cousin in my car without a booster seat just for a quick ride) and Driving on Roadways lanes for traffic. I understand that both charges are 100% my fault. But I’d like to know if there’s any better way to... View More

Some states have a diversion system for the restraint violation. You take a class and it is dismissed. It doesn't matter how short the trip is, if you are on the road you have to follow all the restraint and booster seat laws. On the second one, I have no comment. This case arises under... View More
