i have gone to i think 4 court hearings over the years...for the major offenses like a ridiculous class A misdermeanor charge i got for "drag racing" someone...they thought me and this guy i never met in my life were drag racing and they threw us both in the holding cell for a couple of hours...i had just learned how to drive stick shift, so i popped the clutch to fast accidently...which made my tires squeal a little bit...the other guy sped right when the light turned green, they pulled us both over and we were charged with wreckless driving / drag racing. i had a lawyer come to my hearing and it was all dropped, but i still got a ticket oOo:

the court thing does not erase the fine....it just gets it taken off your record. since my ticket today is only a stop sign, it isnt worth going to court cuz i was guilty. plus once i do the traffic school it will be off my record anyway.

p.s. yes i live in the u.s.a. *see avatar location* biggrin:
