careful i never got a ticket in the mail, like 2 of them
and couple years down the road while riding my bike ( yes
i stopped driving by choice got pulled over by a 1 star
guy :) and he said you have a warrent, never been to jail
and plan on never going. He lucky let me go had to work the
next day giving me a court date. :) i could just see my
3000 bike getting put in the pound..

tickets SUCK and they always get the good people/drivers
simple try and fight it if you are in the right!!
