Thursday - Traffic Court
Sep. 29th, 2005 02:28 pmI left home 40 minutes early to get to Traffic Court by 9 A.M., and barely made it by the skin of my teeth. At times I was speeding by 10 mph to make up for the times I was stuck in traffic. I was going to court to take care of a ticket for going 15 mph over the speed limit back in may. All so I could show the judge that, yes, I took defensive driving like I said I would.
They charged me a $70 bond when I came in last time, on top of the $85 court cost, when I bid no contest so I could spend $40 to spend 6 hours being bored out of my mind clicking through an on-line defensive driving course, which is a punishment only slightly better than a night in jail. Boring to the point that your brain hurts.
In defensive driving, I learned that speeding is dangerous and wrong.
Today, they gave me one sheet of paper refunding my $70, and another charging me a $70 dismissal fee.
I felt like I was in a Washington Mutual commercial.
"Sure we can do that! There will be a fee, I'm afraid."
