David-\n\nYou don't go into the problems with your car, but I am assuming they are mechanical since you don't describe any moving violations.  \n\nTypically, mechanical violations, including failing to change your address with DMV, will be "correctable".  Check your citations...most will say "Correctable Yes/No" next to the violation code.  If they are, simply correct the violations, have an officer from your local police department "sign the ticket off" and you won't have to pay a fine in court.  \n\nNow, there may be court fees to remove the citation out of the system, but you're looking at around $10 per ticket (depending on where you are).  This beats the fines!!!\n\nIf you have citations with moving violations, such as running a red light, unsafe lane change, speeding, etc., those are not correctable and you will have to go to court and pay a fine.\n\nIf you do have correctable violations and you don't correct them, you will be stuck paying fines on all those violations.  Get them signed off fast!\n\nMy advice:  Correct ALL your violations that can be corrected, go to court, tell/show the judge you have correct all the issues and respectfully ask for leniency based on your situation.  DO NOT ignore the citations or ultimately, a warrant for your arrest can be issued and the fines will double, triple, etc.\n\nHopefully this helps you, and GOOD LUCK!

My brother just got in trouble for going 78 in a 40 in June. He had no previous tickets or anything got a $150 dollar fine. They could make you go to traffic school. It really depends on if your judge is in a good mood, and how many previous offenses you have

Should be on your final police report, if not then the police station should have it. It's your record, go see it.

depending on where you are from..I am sure laws change from place to place..I would suggest speaking to a lawyer..most will allow you an hour of their time to sit and talk..for free...but the police cannot continue to pull you over or stop you for no reason..4 times for me ..I went to the police station..told them one more time and there would be police harrasment charges laid...it ended there..good luck to ya..gotta hate the cops on power trips

Mikey are you for real, they start on around £22,000 and things go up from there!!! In answer to the question yes I do think most police are dishonest send a thief to catch a thief as my dear old dad used to say!!! Also kilroymaster needs to open his eyes and see that the police condemn groups of people on a daily basis from the actions of a few, I ride a motorbike and come summertime can't travel more than two miles without being pulled because some bikers speed, use illegal cans and numberplates etc. look at their shoot to kill policy on trains, all of a sudden everyone carrying a back pack and running for a train is a terrrorist!!!

As a police officer i have handled 3 cases similar to this in the last 2 months.  There is nothing we can do except educate the public.  Remember you cant win a lottery you yourself didnt enter.  Think twice about lotteries unless you bought a ticket.  Im sorry but your brother has lost that money and wont get it back.

They deny they have quotas, but they have a little gimmick called citizen contact points.  The more points you get the better cop you are (and the more tickets you write and revenue you generate incidentally). \n\nNever talk to a cop, use the statement "If you choose to cite me or arrest me I will cooperate, otherwise I will now answer no more qustions" (AFTER you have provided I.D. registration etc.) \n\nIt is your right, and they know it.

Unlicensed, or suspended?\n\nAre you a juvenile, or an adult?\n\nIf the violation was 12500(a) of the Vehicle Code, that's a misdemeanor that's often handled (first offense) as an infraction.\n\nBecause it can vary by county, the best thing to do is call the court that's listed on the bottom of your ticket.  If you're a juvenile, it's probable there isn't a fine...just some community service work, or informal probation, or something along those lines.\n\nUnless, of course, you get one of these tickets every week.  Then it would be different.

Just keep telling yourself you're going to court over a TRAFFIC TICKET not rape, theft, burglary or worse...just a simple ticket. Kinda silly to get all worked up over that isn't it?? Everything will be fine...what's the worst that can happen?? You're gonna walk out alive and into the rest of your life owing a lil money and some points on your license..it's definitely not the end of the world. Good luck!!

I have heard that most tickets have a better chance of being reduced or trown out by fighting it through the mail.  Don't know if it works with speeding, but I got a ticket for a no standing zone and I fought it through the mail and won.  Good luck with that.

Every single state has their own revised codes or laws concerning traffic, etc.  Most states have a set fine for traffic tickets. Sherriff & local police should be the same. Check with a local attorney in that area

i cant speak for how Iowa does it but i can tell you in IL and IN how its done. Depending on the speed on the second ticket there will be a drivers class he would have to take (which is mind numbing to say the least- my brother had to take it) on the third ticket (depending on the time between tickets) you would lose your license till your 21. I know Iowa has a slightly different way of going about it. I would say call your local police department for exactly details since its a serious matter, but my advice to you is to get him to slow down before you have to drive him everywhere for the next 5 years i wish you the best of luck and i hope all turns out well

ostly appearance tickets cost a hundred bucks or so..If you want to know about your particular area..you could call the courthouse...they will tell you an approximate fine..or you can research by looking in your local newspaper and reading the court news section...usually there are a few offenders listed in the newspaper and you can read how much they had to pay. Its not that big of a deal...Its just part of growing up!
