3 months after i got my license i got a speeding ticket, 74 in a 55 in a construction zone at 11:30 at night when my license was good till 9 at night.
got that one reduced to a illegal U-turn. paid my $210 fine and end of story.
November of last year (2008) 2 days before my 17th birthday i got yet another speeding ticket, 84 in a 65. well me being the genius i am put it in my glove box excited about my birthday completely forgot the ticket until about a month ago when my friend got one it jogged my memory that i had one i never did anything about!
Monday of this week i got a letter in the mail saying if i don't respond by May 28th i have a suspended license. after some research and such i found out i can get it reduced if i play this right 10mph lower then the ticket (so 74 in a 65) which is a lot better. i need to figure out how much this will be plus a fee for not responding and such. so that's better news.
At least when i get my new job i figure this out so i can actually pay it, just my hopes of sinking some money into the car are put off a little bit.
edit: as a guideline in NYS the Minimum and Maximum are as follows: 1 - 10 mph over = $45 min - $150 max (no imprisonment)
