Hey,
Posting a question for a friend
- Went to the registry and found out I have an outstanding ticket (red light camera) which is now late. Moved within the year and the ticket was mailed to my old address.
1) Can I still get a reduction on the amount?
2) Do I need to bring the actual ticket?
Tell your "friend" if he missed the court date, he's sol. Not the court's fault he moved and didn't have his address changed/forwarded.
You can get it reversed and back into the courts. I have no idea how, but a traffic lawyer did that for me before.Quote:

Tell "your friend" (Bill Smith) That not changing your address is no excuse for not paying your loan, I mean your ticket...Quote:

Go to the courthouse and speak to the traffic office. Even if within time, the set aside is discretionary on the presiding member and they will only do it if the reasoning is good enough.

It's a zero demerit ticket, just pay it.
Nope. Got to pay your fines before you can renew your license or registration.Quote:
