Judge can ALWAYS give you traffic school if he wants
My buddy contested a speeding ticket using ticketassasin.com... first by mail, the cop actually did his thing so he had to go to court. He said screw this thing and asked the judge for traffic school when he appeared in court. Judge gave it to him.
Also, I did traffic school last March '03 for a ticket I got in May '02. God another ticket around Sept '03. At first I thought you couldn't go to traffic school 18 months from when you got the ticket. Obviously, it's 18 months from when you actually take the class... darn.
So I write the judge a letter asking for 12 hour traffic school and it was granted to me.
Don't believe the baloney you will get about how you forfeit your right to do traffic school by contesting your ticket. That's just intimidation.
My friend had his papers to contest by mail stamped "you give up your right to traffic school..." and he still got it by asking the judge nicely.
Good luck!

Here's what happened with mine....
Happened a few years ago. I was young, stupid, and not thinking straigh and didn't fight it. The fine was as bad as I thought it would be at $270, so I paid it and regret it now.

That's a cop trick we see around here. They crawl up your A$$ and get you to speed up.
I've know several people this has happened to. They get right on you, sometimes with brights on and won't pass. You speed up and then the party lights come on and the party is over for you. Seems like a very scummy tactic.
