In case I need this
Last time I got an actual traffic ticket, we had a Southern Democrat in the White House, and it wasn’t Bill Clinton.
Still, as my insurance company is fond of reminding me, this doesn’t mean I’ll never get another one, so I’m putting this up for future reference:
What I learned is this: if it’s in town and you don’t have to travel to do it, always fight your ticket. Just showing up guarantees you’ll save money on the ticket, and probably on your auto insurance as well. But be prepared for any witnesses to be very annoyed with you.
I’m assuming my mileage may vary, laws being something less than entirely uniform, but it’s got to be more satisfying than simply mailing a check.
