Just go to court instead of mailing it in. Pretty standard procedure, you don’t have to have an argument ready. They’ll probably reduce it to a non-moving violation, you pay a fine, and walk away. No insurance hike or anything. ---

If you’re on probation, you will lose your license for 3 or 6 months. Unless they changed it in the 8 years since I got my license, so you better fight it. Just talk to the DA and see if he’ll reduce it for you. You might have to go to driving class, they hand it out for random moving violations/non moving pleas. I had class for running a yellow/red light. ---

mail it in, plead not guilty… go to court, wait in line… talk to DA, he’ll tell you what its goin to be reduced to. my guess is 1 parking ticket plus school. then you go see the judge, he’ll say do you plead guilty to 1 parking ticket plus school, you say yes… go to school… life goes on and you get more tickets, because i’m sure you wont learn your lesson at a young age ---

And I believe that it doesn’t matter when the court date is scheduled, you did get the ticket when you were in the probationary period, so that is what they will look at. Best bet is to plead not guilty and take your chances with the DA, they’ll probably cut you a break since you’re so close. You’ll most likely end up with a non moving and a trip to school. Like ^ said. ---

It’s possible, but don’t bank on it. ---

I just had court last night for 70 in a 55. I went to court and talked to the Town Prosecuter. I got a $100 fine and school but no points. Thats the important part. I have been driving for over ten years and I don’t have any points on my license. Good luck! I think you’ll make out ok. The fine hurts but not as much as losing your license for 6 months!! ---

hey it depends on what you were on probation for. If it was driving related it won’t be good. You might want to ask for a hearing in regards to the ticket. You dont need a lawyer for it just state the facts. If you probation is driving related hire a lawyer. It will be money well spent. Remember Lawyers are negotiable. Don’t pay the first total asked for. Good Luck. ---

I got 3 this summer, not a single point on my license. Basically just go in to court, tell the clerk you plead not guilty, go sit down and wait. You then meet with the DA and he will usually offer you a plea bargain, ie: a parking ticket and driving school, or just a parking ticket… Sit down. Wait to be called to the bench and meet with the Judge. He will tell you how much $ you owe. Pay. Leave with a smile. ---
