Elky, what did you decide to do? Just pay it or are you going to fight it?

funny you should ask.
i just called the DA today.
he is out of the office until tuesday.
but the clerk there understood my plea and she said she will have him call me tuesday.
i told her i realize ther is no way for me to get out of this without paying, but i would appreciate it if it could be dropped to a non-moving violation.
then it wouldnt effect my insurance in MA.
it is not in my powers to dricve out there to fight it, it would cost too much even if i did win.
but i stressed how i am not guilty, etc.
so maybe he will have a change of heart and change it for me.
i wont know until tuesday.

Awesome. I wanted to do something like that too, but I was scared that calling them directly about the issue, they would just push you away automatically and be forced to take the reduced fine and points against license.

muahahahaha
20 miles over the speed limit is atleasy $150...might be as much as 300. They do it in blocks of 10mph...last time i got busted for 11 over it was $150, plus surcharge which can be as much as $90.

you can actually file for an affidavit in lieu of appearance, which basically means you can just write a letter saying what you want to say in front of the judge without actually having to go there. they just read it on the day of your hearing. i got a ticket like two years ago for "following too closely" when i rear ended someone on the triboro bridge. a year later, i get a letter in the mail saying that my license is suspended and that i can't drive in the state of ny unless i go to court to resolve my ticket. i was like huh?!?!?   so i called the rmv there and told the lady what happened that day and she told me everything i needed to do and about two/three weeks after i sent my letter in, i get a letter saying that i was all set and i was found not guilty.

i have already sent in my letter, and they responded with a reduced sentence, which still sucks.
now i am at the point where i want to appeal the reduced sentence.
basically they think they have me by the bawlz, i live outta state and can't afford to lose a couple days pay to fight it, so they just reduce it hoping i will just pay it.

that sucks. yeah, hopefully the DA can help you out tom then. good luck! ::crosses fingers:: i'd just keep bugging them and dragging it on tho (as much as it sucks) and see if they change their minds and forget about it.

so i called the clerk.
she is out of the office until August 3rd ad only she can handle anything related to teh court.
well, i have to reply to the court before August 1st as to whether or not i am paying the fine.
