help tickets..

I got a speeding ticket about two months ago that needs to be paid off.
I got another ticket for stop sign yesterday and another one today..
so I have three tickets to take care of.
please let me know what would be the best way to take care of these tickets..
Would there be a way to reduce the ticket price and going to traffic school more than once in 18 months?

Ill be moving to detroit in late august

For which ticket?

But to better answer your actual question, traffic school is a 1 for 1. If you haven’t attended traffic school in California in the past 18 months, and if the ticket you receive (or the “courtesy notice” that arrives in the mail about three weeks after getting the ticket) says that you are eligible to attend traffic school, you’re good to go. If you don’t get a courtesy notice within three weeks, the law says that it’s your responsibility to call the traffic court that issued the citation and ask for one. You’ll still have to go to the court and pay a fee and maybe a fine, before attending traffic school.

But it will not count for the later 2 stop sign tickets. You can either pay them or fight them in court. In court you can plead guilty and request a lower fine from the judge.

request for a lower fine. hA! no longer in california.

you can do two traffic school in the 18 months period. but the second TS you will pay higher.

If you're leaving cali, I'd just pay them and deal with it.

daym, sounds like what I have lined up too.
within 2 months time, 1st was speeding (not guilty, in trail prrocess) 2nd was the rolling stop. (guilty, paid in full) 3rd was, never thought I'd get one, but it was the daym cellphone. 160 bucks (paid in full) 4th tailgating and having a load in my truck extend farther than the law says. load was 8 feet past my tailgate. ( guilty... but fighting it, see what comes of it.)

All in all, I'm just an aggressive a-hole driver.

Good luck to you.

Check out Mr. Ticket if you are in CA.

50% of the time, they can get the ticket dropped

I was skeptical as hell when my friend recommended them, but I decided to try them anyway and it worked out. The case was dismissed.

Worth a try.

If you are not planning on coming back to California, just leave it all behind you and start fresh in Detroit.

Get a lawyer and have him handle it.

Paying it should be the last option on your list.
Cops now days don't deserve a dime especially out of my pocket.

Mr. Ticket and similar outfits are essentially lawyers that know all the loopholes (i.e. radar wasn't calibrated, officer does not show up to court, etc.) in the system. They essentially do many of the things you could do yourself if you had the time and understanding of the legal system. For $100, you cannot go wrong.

I went to court in LA for going 45 in a 35 and they reduced my ticket by $4. I went to court in Santa Maria and dropped a speeding ticket from $600 to $300. Try Mr. Ticket.

A lot of ppl don't know this but you can request for level 2 traffic school. Which is 16 hrs of traffic school.

Best advice with your ticket situation, get help! Then change the way you drive being aware of your surroundings if you plan on doing something stupid. This works regardless of where you live....Gary!

That's great advise.
You do realize California will issue a warrant for failure to appear and every agency in this country will see that if he is ever stopped. Nothing like spending a few days in a Detroit jail waiting for extradition to Cali, which of course won't happen so he'd be released after 72 hours. Problem is every time he gets stopped this will happen until the warrant is cleared.
