If they were really interested in safety they wouldn’t wait up to three weeks before sending a ticket to someone that was caught speeding. That means the person that was driving unsafe continued to drive unsafe for 3 weeks. This is all about revenue.
I got one of these things and fumed and fussed about it for about 2 weeks. First I was just not going to pay it, then I was going to fight it. When I found out it would take a day off from work to go down and wait in line until I could see a picture of me before I could fight it that was it.
I decided I would just go ahead a pay the darn thing. I sent the check in and got the check back about a week later.
There was part of the law that stated if the person didn’t voluntarily pay it within 21 days that a warrant would have to be issued prior to taking the person to court to get the money.
Since I do not live in the town that I got the ticket, they couldn’t issue a warrant outside the city limits. Therefore they returned my check to me and I did not owe anything.
Because I waited to pay it until it was considered late, I didn’t owe anything. Now how convuluted is that?
It’s for the children ... /s
