Glad it was just a ticket. I got my first ticket after 33 years of driving for the same thing. I swear I stopped. My 24 year old dtr got stopped last summer for speeding, they cop let her go with a warning but ticketed her for not having her proof of insurance in her car. She worked for our car insurance company! First I knew was when she got a letter in the mail saying they were going to suspend her license for not having insurance. She never went and showed her proof. She assured me she would take care of it. 3 weeks later she got a notice saying they were going to suspend her license plates too. Once again she said she would take care of it. NOT. 2 days before Thanksgiving we get a call from her, not her cell # with that somber MOM, can you come down to the police station and bring 300.00! I am what happened, just come please. So my husband and I drive the 45 minute drive with my heart in my mouth wondering what was going on. On her way home from work the cop ran her plates and saw the suspension and arrested her. This town has nothing better to do, she wasn't stopped for any other reason. I was so mad at her. All she had to do was go to the court house when she was first stopped and show her proof of insurance. She has always had insurance. So we had to get an attorney and went to court twice. Once to show her proof if insurance to reinstate her license and plates and the other for the suspensions. We got a real tough prosecutor and he wouldn't drop the charges but if we paid a bigger fine he would reduce it to driving without her license on her and 3 months supervision. The fine alone was 500.00. Now I am so worried she will get a ticket during the supervision period. She has never been in trouble before but now I am on her all the time! lol |
