NEW RELEASES
*#$@&!!!
Oh. My. God. I am so irritated.
I got a ticket in the mail today from one of those blasted red light cameras.
BAH!
Here’s the thing. I totally did it. I can’t complain. The picture taken of me as I skated through the intersection on the 
end of a yellow light clearly shows me at the wheel. It also looks like my mouth is in the middle of forming an epic, “Oh SHIT!” I’d also like to point out that I look like crap in the picture. Is it possible that I always look this bad? Cause I’m not depressed enough about getting a ticket and now I have to look at this photographic proof? There’s a link to a video. I don’t think my psyche can stand that.
The cost of the ticket is $337! Sweet Mother of Zeus! Can you believe that? I haven’t gotten a ticket in at least 15 years, and I knew the instant this one happened. Also, I’d like to point out that the tickets states I was traveling at 16 mph in a 40 zone. Shouldn’t I get brownie points for that?
Here’s the thing, though. They sent it to my maiden name, a name I haven’t had legally also in 15 years. Do I have to pay this ticket if they don’t even know my damn name? My driver’s license is in my legal name. What the hell?
OK – since this is not the reason I want to go to jail…
My options include Driver’s School – in person or online. I went to the website to see how much THAT was going to set me back and this is what I found on the list of Certified Driving Schools.
Sir Waldorf Bentley’s School for Naughty Drivers
Slow Your Pony
Comedy Traffic School
Easy Peasy Defensive Driving
Piece of Cake Traffic School
Super Fly Defensive Driving
Obviously I’m going to select the one that references dessert. This whole thing shouldn’t totally suck.
They have to serve you in AZ, or else the ticket goes away. So if you just don’t open your door to strangers for the next 6 months you’re home free.
I say look into your options. There is a big dispute as to whether those camera tickets are even legit. As for the traffic school, it wasn’t too bad online. You get to go at your own pace, and not the pace of all the yo-yos in a classroom slowing things down with their questions and stories. I also got some free tickets to some comedy club, but I never used them. It’s still a big chunk of change though that could be better spent on something else.
Where did you get that wonderful picture of Dolly? Back when she could smile! Never fear your friends will help you out here. We’ll swear you don’t have a heavy foot!
Isn’t that a great pic!!
