It used to be 5x in your lifetime. I know, because by the age of 21 I could not take the driving school anymore since I had gone 1x per year since I got my license.

I'll be able to take the class again sometime next year. Hopefully I wont need too.

Kennedy, I suggest paying the ticket and taking the class. I got screwed here in Jacksonville a couple years ago. I paid an Attorney $85 to have a ticket taken care of. He then told me 2 weeks after I paid that I would also have to pay court costs of $100. On top of that, the Judge still ordered me to take the Driving School for $45.

All in all, it cost me close to $250 for a $125 ticket! Not to mention this attorney was recommended to me by guys from a local forum. In the future, im just gonna suck it up and pay the fine.

Damn. You got off lucky, my attorney quoted me a hell of a lot more than that to drive from Orlando to Martin County to fight the ticket for me. That's why I just paid the ticket and took the class. $148 ticket + $25 for the class.

Solid white lines mean you can't change lanes (example: on the 408 and 417 when you are approaching the toll). When the turn lane opens up, there's usually either no white line, or a dotted white line.

Seems like someone needs a refresher on driving laws.

thanks lennox, we all knew you like looking at pics of naked men but you just had to go ahead and prove it.

bryce call some traffic lawyers around you for a free consultation. i just got my "unlawful speed on an on-ramp + construction" dropped for a little over $200. ticket was going to be $285 but i sent pics that i wasnt in construction to my lawyer and he got it dropped. my fees came out to $100 for lawyer and $130 for fines/court fees.

as for my south fl ticket, ill probably call a couple offices down there since they're usually cheaper. 30 over is pretty big so i have to see what they say. backup plan is call the clerk and discuss taking the class to get my points dropped and like a 10% discount which is what i did on the only ticket that shows on my record.

They don't do the 10% discount anymore if you take the class... As of a few months ago. At least that's what I was told by the Martin County Clerk's office and by my attorney.
