My tickets

[Pakhan]

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.

I don't want to warn anyone, just provide some insight.  Fun cost money, usually the more fun the more money

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 
Yes there is a bond the second time, but I pay her $300 per speeding ticket and she takes it from that.

Too late, we are on the same forum.

I beliece 3 speeds in a year = suspended license.
