That always worked for me except for when the cop who stopped me was a woman. Then, not so much no matter how polite I was.

Then you didn't *actually* fail, Jeff—it was more of a compromise.

The fine is irritating, but not getting points on your license is the big thing.

When a police officer asks you to do something, you do it, and respectfully. Ask me how I know.

Yeah. Really when you’re caught and you know it, go to court early, talk to the ADA if possible and see if s(he) will go for a reduced charge.

Happened to my husband too, last year. He was going 37 in a 25mph zone and drove right past the sheriff’s dept. Well, a sheriff was sitting in one of those cars and nailed him. $300 fine and had to take an online traffic ticket course which cost an additional $25!

Jeff, you do know that they put points On your license, not take them off?

So don’t be happy when you find out you’ve got 12 points- your license is about to be suspended!
