A couple weeks ago driving home from my GF's house in PA, I got a ticket on I-95 in MD. I wasnt aware it was a 55mph zone (my fault, but honestly if I knew, I probably wouldnt have slowed down much anyway). The ticket was for 73 in a 55.
I got a letter in the mail just now for the court date and was going to not pay the fine, since I've never heard of anyone going to court and not getting it reduced or dismissed. But I'm having doubts, and after the lecture my mom just gave me about this, I'm thinking I might just get stuck with what I got.
My situation is that I just got a ticket on I95 in MD for 81 in a 65, caught by a speed trap. I just paid the fine, so thats on my record. Am I wasting my time going to court for this? I dont care about the fine, but working in the automotive field, this is just not a good thing for me. If I went looking for another job, these 2 tickets could keep me from getting hired. So does anyone have insight on whether or not this would be worth fighting? Also no sense fighting my speed, I was caught with laser.
