on a positive note being stopped made me realize my inspection was up this month
ask for an extension, then show up for court - they'll likely reduce the fine and there is a chance the cop may not show with an extension
This is sneaky, and by no means guaranteed to work. Go to court and ask to take a driver improvement course. Why no one ever suggests it is beyond me, but if it isn't reckless, there's a good chance you can get out of it altogether if you ask to take the course, especially if you already have a good record.
I took an online course BEFORE headng to court once. The judge reduced the fine, and the course itself dropped my points by a good number.
