I went in for my hearing today to fight my 20 over speeding ticket and the cop didn't show so it got thrown out. I got pretty lucky, the ticket was for around $125 and 4 points on my license. I was going to give them some sob story and see if I could just get the points dropped and pay the fine but now I don't have to do either. Woohoo.

Here in Michigan cops get payed time and a half when they are in court. They NEVER miss a date.

Here in NY, the cop only has to show up if it goes to trial. Otherwise, the DA is at the court to conference w/ you and give u a little bit of a break. So tickets almost never get thrown out. It sux bc now my insurance is a little less than $4000 a year. And thats for basic coverage. FTBS.

Jesus christ! That's an insane amount of money just to DRIVE. I pay $3200 a year for full coverage. Liability only down here can be as low as $600 per 6 months.

When I first got my Beretta GT the insurance guy told us full coverage was going to run me $1998 per 6 months.
I looked at him and properly shat myself.
My dad was speechless, just as myself.
Now that Im 25, only 1 speeding ticket over 5 years ago, no at fault accidents my insurance is under $350 a half for $100K liability.
