You also have the new Passport detector, has built-in GPS data for speedtraps, cameras, etc.

Call your local popo Station or Court; they'll be able to clarify that for you, Portuguesa!

In florida... its works as follows.

you have three options:

1) pay fine... claiming your guilty and you get points given.

2) pay a little reduced fine, endure a 4 hour course on the internet, and no points are given (you can only do this once every 12 months, and only 5 times in 10 years) its worth it, but man is it tedious.

3) Go to court.

3a) pay a lawyer to go for you.. they will try to get you out of it.. but as the resident popo just said... you usually end up paying either a small fine and court fees, or all that and even get points.. depends on your driving record.

3b) you go to court... same as above applies. But sometimes you get lucky and the officer does not show up, and it gets dismissed, or your driving record is nice and the ticket was not for being a complete idiot, and you pay some court fees and that is all.

so if you can do the driving course to not get the points do it.. its worth the 4 hours your there staring at your screen.

How can you pay the reduced fine and get no points on your driving record?

Regardless of whether you pay or go to court, points will stick.

I always advocate going to court. It's your tax money anyway, and the judge will almost never make life any harder on you than making you pay and getting the points you would have anyway. If the cop is a no-show, plead not guilty. Otherwise, plead guilty.

Just my two cents.

if you have a perfect driving record, you may receive probation before judgment, which is a win.
