Lightbulb Don't have to pay anything

True:
You can only go to traffic school every 18 months.

This might help you out more than you think. If you break it down you can get up to 3 extentions (each for 30 days). Just walk up to the traffic window and ask the lady nicely.

This can then be prolonged by things like vacation, school in a different area (college out of state, other side of state) or what ever you can think up. All you have to do is send a letter with your request for an extention.

If you have the time:

When you actually go to court the first time (wether you're guilty or not) all they ask is if you want to fight the ticket or if you admit guilt. Fight the ticket. This sets the ticket back further.

This then benifits you in several ways: You can extend your ticket so that you can go to traffic school again. If you are extending it this long the officer will: think that you are right and not bother showing up to fight you, not bother showing up because he forgot copletely about the whole incident. Anything doubt of the officer's testimony you show in court, you win.

Even if you do go to school, you might not have to pay the ticket/ insurance costs if you prolong it long enough to go to traffic school.

I've done this before and actually delt with the ticket a YEAR later.
