Ok.
Anyway, I'm prolly gonna pay the ticket and not contest it. If I miss out on work, I lose $160, just to fight a $100 ticket. Doesn't make good financial sense.
Then, showing up doesn't guarantee a win. And thus it will turn into a $200 ticket before I know it.
as far as owing the DMV $2000, no, not a DUI or anything criminal. I pulled the insurance on two of my summer cars last year - And now it's punishable by hefty fines to do that. And all of my registrations got pulled. It was a $3500 ordeal, but I've got enough of the fines paid off to get my licence back.
So I have to pay these fines before they will let me register in the state again. $2000 isn't that easy to come up with, even if you're making $45 an hour. So I set up a bank account that I'm slowly saving to pay off the fines and be legal again.
I'm trying to play by the rules, but I can't get rides to work all the time, and if I can't get to work then I lose a lot more than my means of driving.

I was excited about pursuing justice, but after doing the math it's damned if I do, damned if I don't. If I show up in court, they may just take my car (Courts can do that, as observed with my OLD 73 Firebird which was demanded to be sold within 24 hours. Speeding. )
