Phooey.

Well, I got myself a ticket tonight on the way to rehearsal.

Yeah, it was dumb. It was dumber than dumb. I went through a yellow light...not realizing that I passed a cop to do it. Hey, it was dark. And I thought he was far enough ahead to have already gone through the same intersection. Whoops.

How much? $100. Shit.

Well, I'm going to send in the request for a court date, if nothing else to see if I can get them to reduce the fine.

But it's nice to know that the car gods still know I exist. Dammit.

Okay. Shower, finish packing. Take out the trash. Hm. Maybe that before shower.

You could be in NY and have a $45+ "Court Surcharge" added to the bill.

But NY does not seem to care about people running yellow lights, or even orange ones, or even red ones.

Yeah, that's what happened with my speeding ticket in Riga on the way back from Harvest Raids...last year? Between the court fees and then setting the fine above the minimum, that was a $205 expense!

As it's semi-local, there's no reason not to contest it.

OUCH.

Aren't you glad you don't live in NY anymore. It's getting too expensive to live here.
