Need Ticket Advise ASAP!!! o.k. I got a speeding ticket 3 months ago and since I already took defensive driving within a year to dismiss one already I couldn't do that again. So I paid like $100 or so and got it defered (basically you can't get a ticket within the same county for 3 months and it gets eliminated) but I was supposed to show up at the court on 11-08 to finalize it and get it dismissed and guess what........ I forgot
Anyways I called the court and the lady said either I have to pay like $200 for the ticket or file an appeal and it goes to district court and she said she doesn't know what happens after that (yeah right).
So I was wondering if anyone else had this experience or does anyone know what happens and what to do after you file an appeal???????
thanks in advance for any advise,

Personally I'd hire an attorney but here if they appeal it to district the case usually gets dropped because the officer isn't going to show up. Atleast on my one ticket that actually had to be appealed that was the case. DPS officer writing tickets for a local JP court, appealed to county and was dropped.

i'm wondering what this whole "APPEAL" process is like if I do it....

why don't you just pay the ticket and be done with it?
Do you already have tickets on your record? if not, that's what i would do. it'd be a PITA now to try and do anything else.
insurance isn't automatically notified of your ticket anyway if thats what you're worried about. they do "random" checks every so often, is what i was told.

I'd try to find out what the appeal process is, certainly someone knows. Then prepare from there.
