Re: Public safety or feeding a cash cow?

Alright, I just got popped for my first ticket in a long, long time. It was 14 mph over, and I was speeding so I won't argue that aspect (was distracted and didn't realize the speed had crept up on me).

Is this different than taking the defensive driving? Are you saying I can get an outright dismissal with no fine or costs if I stay clean for 90 days?

So if I do the defensive driving, does that mean I pay both the speeding fine and additional fees for the deferred adjudication?

Last question, I am currently doing PTDE for my daughter. Will this ticket invalidate my ability to do that?
