Guy I work with just got back from traffic court. $520 for rollin a stop sign. Be careful ya'll.

 

welcome to the world of government budget issues.

 

Haha seriously. I couldn't believe it when he told me.

 

you can blame the government for this so called recension

 

Wow.. I got one of those back in Sept at it was only $220

+$57 if you wanted to take traffic school
+traffic school

So all said and done it would have been around $300



But I fought it and won

 

Dam just for rolling where was this at does any one know???

 

It happend in marysville. I think that's yolo county?

 

how did you beat it????

 

Trial by written declaration

written up by our fellow iclubber calvin aka strider327

he gives discounts for iclub members

 

is that an attorney?

 

or is that a forum that tells u how to beat a ticket? ha

 

its just official paper work that can be filled out to contest a ticket. You turn it in (along with the full fine amount) before your court date and you dont have to show up to court.

You wait 6-10 weeks waiting to receive some thing back in the mail waiting to see if they found you guilty or not.

If you are found not guilty, congrats and you will get your money back in 6-10 weeks after that Kinda sucks it basically will take 12-20 weeks to get your money back, but hey you get it back haha (but while you're waiting to get the money back the state is making interest off your money).

 

dam hahah sounds like an intense process. how often do they find you "guilty"
so u dont even show up to court they just basically send u ur money back? ha

 

I dont think theres a percent of who they let off or not, but it has multiple factors that can push your case one way or the other.
-is your driving record clean?
-what was the infraction
-whats mistakes (if any) were made by the officer
-your reasoning behind why you think you should not be at fault

So when i turned in my paperwork, I had to pay the full fine amount. I got my letter in the mail saying I was let off, so basically now im just waiting for a check in the mail to get my money back.

 

oh got it!! thats sick, good knowledge. thanks man.
