You can get it removed by paying it.

My cousin was killed by a delinquent who decided that their text conversation was more important than the other people around him. Be better next time.

You mean by lying in court?

No I mean by just showing up to court, if they ask I can admit I fucked up but see if there’s a chance they’d wave it

We can't possibly act as soothsayers for which judge you'd get.

Also, if you get in front of a judge that’ll waive your ticket, there’s not a single one that’ll remove the offense from your record, so your insurance company is gonna be prorating any money you might save on getting the fine waived by jacking up your premium because you demonstrated you’re a risk to insure.

Admitting to being guilty is usually doesn’t get you a free pass.

You did it. Pay up.

Omg moving from Louisiana back to Massachusetts and seeing the traffic grievances is hilarious. In New Orleans: “I got a ticket for doing 45 in a 20 flashing light school zone, how do I get out of it?” and the answer is “report your plate as stolen and keep on.” This is not an advertisement for doing this. If you left New Orleans, you’d be in trouble. So please don’t do this.

Obey the laws, pay when you fuck up, and keep on. I, for one, welcome my new traffic overlords.

Not a snowball’s chance in hell you’re getting it removed from your driving record; enjoy your higher insurance premium.

What a useless topic to address OP, thanks for wasting 3 minutes of my life. Like others said, be better, pay your shit, and carry the hell on.

I admit I’m at fault your Honor, but can you know, just make it go away

Tell them you’ll pay a higher fine if it can be removed as a moving violation.

Tickets like this are money makers for the entities that issue them. They are very happy to change it to a non-moving violation with a hefty fine. Which may still be more cost effective than paying the ticket and having your insurance go up.

Wow you actually got a ticket. The police don’t pull anyone over that. I’ve seen people texting in front of and next to cruisers and nothing.

1st offense is just $100 fine (plus court costs if it goes to court.. or maybe a magistrate). No insurance surcharge. But why fight it? Just pay the $100 and move on. And then stop doing it.

Sometimes it’s worth hiring a lawyer for these sorts of things. Crazier things have happened.
