Im finally back:) Everything went well, better than I expected, actually. When I first got in the courthouse I was scared, the people there are just strange, scary and they stare. Everyone looks like they just rolled out of bed, and IM standing there in my cute black capris and cute shirt, lol. ANyway, the police officer finally got there after me waiting for him for a half hour, and he told me to sit down and he would handle it. He comes out 10 minutes later and says he handled everything, and they knocked my citation down to me not having my turn signal on. Which is think is a little ridiculous, the accident was 100% my fault, but I guess thats how plea bargaining works and our justice system. So, the police officer tells me to tell the judge I agree to everything and Im done. I have to pay $72 for court costs, but thats it, my car insurance won't go up, and I wont get any points on my license!:)

That's great, Kate!! Eventhough it may have been your fault, it doesn't mean you should have to pay higher insurance premiums. Mistakes happen.: )

NICE! DH used to be a police officer, and he said that most of the time, appearance does matter in court!! Sounds like it turned out to be true for you!
