I was telling the guys on the ride the other day how many pending points I have, but decided to check today and realized I miscalculated.
Ok well right now I have 2 speeding, 1 improper left, 1 lane splitting, 2 plate mounting tickets.
These tickets total 21 points pending, BUT right now I have 0 points.
Yes I know I'm an idiot and it will cost me. But my stupidity might help you.
Check it out:

Notice the last ticket "speed in zone 11-30" violation date 8/28/07 hearing date 8/22/08. The hearing date is almost a whole year after the violation. That is the date they gave me after my FIRST request for rescheduled hearing.
You can postpone a couple of times, points only count from the date of violation NOT conviction, points stay on your license for 18 months.
WHEN I get convicted of that ticket, which will most likely be after 18 months in March 09 I will have 0 points but still have the fine.
Last but not least some insight into my stupidity and the loopholes of our system. I have had a license for 15 years. I have had, including the current 2 tickets, about 35 or more speeding tickets in that time. I have never had my license suspended, I have always postponed tickets, I have never had an increase in insurance premiums as a direct result of any speeding ticket.
Hope this helps you guys n' gals out there and goodluck. [thumbsup]

I don't want to warn anyone, just provide some insight. Fun cost money, usually the more fun the more money [evil]
Postponement is definitely your friend. You are allowed to postpone twice, but will probably have to pay a bond on the second postponement.

Wow, you're a miscreant. I'll need to make sure I stay away from the likes of you so as not to become corrupted.

The lady I use can postpone it sometimes 3-5 times, she knows people ;D
Yes there is a bond the second time, but I pay her $300 per speeding ticket and she takes it from that.

I beliece 3 speeds in a year = suspended license.
