I don't know what probation means...but I never speed more than 5 mph over the limit, usually I'm one or two under, so I doubt I'll get a ticket within the next two months, so the probation doesn't bother me. tooth, you said it best, it does bother me that I sold out instead of going to court and fighting it to the end. I guess that will be one of my few regrets. I really wasn't thinking it through at the time. The thing is, I was having a hard time getting through to the prosecutor, and when I showed him the picture of the area where I got the ticket he immediately was like "Oh I know what you were doing!" He told me he gets so mad when he sees people getting ahead by using the exit lanes on his way home from work. Anyway, by that point I was feeling pretty desperate, and I was afraid the police officer would lie and say I crossed the solid line or something at the trial. So that's why I chickened out, but I will regret that. Maybe next summer I'll get another ticket like this one and fight it all the way.
