I was in traffic court last week (my accident, remember?
). Anyway, this chick went up to the table and the dude asked her if she was feelin' lucky. The girl told him yeah. I'm trippin, cuz he ain't ask nobody else that. So he tells her, the cop forgot to turn in the original citation, and she was free to go, no fines, nothin. I was
!!! I'm like, why my cop have to do his job??? LOL
I said all that to say you never really know. In the case of a speeding ticket, I don't know that it matters much. But if you ever get cited for an accident, don't just pay the ticket (admission of guilt). Go to traffic court and plead No Contest. That way the other person can't use your plea against you in a civil suit.
