rushjunkie Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Let me ask you fine folk of DDR before I dive into the depths of the intrawebs searching for an answer; I recieved two trafic tickets within a month of eachother after not having been pulled over in 6+ years. One was for making a left accoss double yellows. That one was written by LA County sheriff. The second was for 85 mph in a 70 mph zone in fresno county by CHP. I am in the first extension for each ticket as of now. Any ideas on how to get out of these? I was in a similar situation about 8 years ago. Back then, I paid the sheriff ticket and did the traffic school thing. At the same time, I mailed in the CHP ticket, but I mailed in $10 above the total amount. From what I had heard back then, the court couldn't close a case until money was refunded. The myth went, that I shouldn't cash the check the court mailed back and the case would stay open, but I wouldn't be chased because they had their money. Well, the court never mailed me anything. They cashed my check, and I never heard a thing. I was assuming I had a point on my license, but the next time I checked my driving record the ticket appeard as an "abstract" but it didn't show a point for it??? Three years passed and neither my insurance nor my job were affected (both check my driving record). Any idea if this would still work??

Jakster884 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Not sure about your situation but I was always under the impression you can turn left across a double yellow do all the time in LA even in front of the PO PO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampIdiot Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I have only heard of being able to cross double yellows to go into a gas station as per a bike officer but what do I care after all I am also the Village Idiot :hatdance: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE135 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Call the clerk of the county court and ask what your options are. Thats what my son did. He only got one ticket so im not sure of your options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
