Fun Tax on a Friday
Soooo.... yeah got my bi-annual "fun tax" today...86 in a 50 (it's a 6 lane divided highway)... inexplicably the limit is 50 in that section.... oh wait I know why... that's a revenue generation zone.
That's what zoning out on conference calls will do for you....(maybe I can expense it lol)

I know it sounds like the speed is excessive.... but the average for atlanta is 85 and I was literally going with traffic.
The cop was super nice and he said if it was any consolation, I was the "slowest" he stopped so far!!!

Always plead Not Guilty. Make them have a court date. When you go, they take attendance and if your officer isn't there, your case will be dismissed. If he is there, THEN plead guilty and ask for traffic school. I got out of a similar $450 fine this way.

I can usually get by with a dismissal and such but it will still cost money. The justice system (revenue generation) strikes again!

I remember back in Cali if you have a clean record usually the judge will recognize that and knock the fine down substantially as long as you agree to go to traffic school which will not add points to your driving record and doesn't get reported to your insurance
I've done this once and it worked but barely as the judge almost rescheduled which i told the judge i took off work today and will not be able to take off another day so he dismissed it and all i paid was the court fees i think $25?

That tactic works when it's a smaller municipality where the officer may actually be unavailable. I've only had one dismissal in my life where the officer had quit the force and unavailable.

1- You went to court, officer did not show up 2- it was ruled in your favor and you had to pay for court fees?

edit: when you show up to court on the first day and you plan to plead "NOT GUILTY" for what ever you were cited for that's when the court will arrange you're next court appearance and the issuing officer will have to be there. if he shows than you have to plead your case why you're not guilty...if he doesn't show than your case gets dismissed!

Even in Jersey, court fees are what they are after. Its tough, I tell my wife all the time, either you go with the flow of traffic, avoid tickets, but risk getting hit by people not paying attention, merging incorrectly, swerving, texting, taking their exit at the last minute or risk paying a ticket and haul ass where it's safer in the left lane. We have a budget setup for these "fees"! People say speed kills.....nope, the toolbag in the right lane strategically blocking traffic from entering the highway kills. Rant over.
