I got you beat. My ticket is $363. I’m fighting it in court (pleaded not guilty, trial set for Sept. 22).
I can do traffic school as well but figure it’s my right to fight so might as well give it a shot first. If that fails I’ll do traffic school.
The online ones are really easy and only like $19.95 usually. The court still wants you to pay the fine + fees but it won’t go on your record so your insurance won’t go up.
IMO it’s all a big scam. I’ve been driving for 20 years and never had an accident but I get speeding tickets fairly regularly. Traffic school won’t help anyone except the courts and the school companies. Not going will help the insurance co. so it’s win-win (except for you, it’s lose-lose).
