Reply to comment by PBfromPhilly in Move Over Law Ticket - Has anyone had luck getting fees/points reduced? by nooneyouworkwith

Yeah, I'm not going to try to get out of it. I'm just hoping for some amount of leniency, especially since I have to appear before a judge anyway as part of it.

I'm confused. You got a ticket but you are asking others what they were charged for the same offense?

The ticket the officer handed you has the amount you owe on it. If you are not going to fight the ticket (which is a losing proposition anyway) then you have to pay that fine. And frankly, if its only $127.50 you should count yourself lucky.

The judge can't arbitrarily reduce your fine, even if they felt sympathetic (which they won't). The fine is associated with the charge and I doubt there is a reduced charge for your violation.

If points are involved that is something, maybe, they could work with you on. But other than that you are shit out of luck.

Write the check and be done with it. It's not going away and you'll feel better once it's off your mind.
