A written declaration is basically your account of what happened, the ticketing officer then has to write his version of what happen and also submit it to the court(cops do not get paid from what I heart to write these declaration, unlike they get payed over time to goto court... so basically you have a MUCH higher chance of him not doing it and getting a freebie). Then that's it, they will write back telling you if you lost or won. Then you can go from there with traffic school and what not.

well if you are trying to get out of it... I don't think that would be a good angle :rotfl:
But there is a suppenna? sp? and that basically says... I am unable to make it to the court house, I plead guilty. Kind of Deal, then it you can get your traffic school stuff, call the court house and ask them how to do it
