Rain!!!!!

It seems like we have had more days with rain in it then not. I am so thankful for that. With Rain came lower temps it seems it had stayed below 90 for the past couple of weeks. Wow.....it made my job a whole lot nicer. I got to take my kids outside and play. I still love my job and being up here in Frisco but I do miss all my Brethren and Sisters at Northwest and hopefully I will come down soon (maybe when there is a softball game) hint-hint. I also just found out that I am coming to Florida over Labor Day weekend, pretty excited about that. Anyways I hope all is doing well and anyone should come up here and visit.

I got my second ticket tonight!

Guess what it was for? Its not even a cool violation if there were nerdy violations this one takes the cake. I got a citation for not having the correct address on my drivers license for a whopping 95$. The police officer was trying to help me out because I should have gotten four tickets. He pulled me over for one of my headlights being out and my insurance had expired ten days ago and I was driving without my glasses. I am glad he pulled me over (kind of) because I had no idea about my headlight and my insurance. My question is since it was not a moving violation will this citation go on my driving record? If so how long before it is on my record and I don't think I can do defensive driving? Any thoughts!
  • windham4life
    oh no! That stinks!! I didn't even know you could get a ticket for having the wrong address on your id. lol...shows how much I know.
    by windham4life at 11/18/08 10:54PM
  • iamchriswindham
    you would think I'd be a pro at answering those types of questions, but I have no idea! Sorry :(
    by iamchriswindham at 11/18/08 11:52PM
  • beckyd
    What a bummer! I bet if you call the number on the back of the ticket that the person there can tell you if it will go on your record or not. When I got a speeding ticket a couple of years ago I just had to pay extra to get it off my record and then go 90 days without another infraction. Good luck!
    by beckyd at 11/19/08 8:17AM
  • ethospathoslogos
    ^that's called deferred adjudication, but it's only offered in some jurisdictions if there happens to be a nice judge. i'm pretty sure by state law a non-moving violation doesn't go on any kind of record as long as you pay the fine, but like beckyd said it wouldn't hurt to ask them. for moving violations you would normally have 3 options 1.) pay the fine and it goes on your record. 2.) opt for deferred adjudication (if it's offered) and pay a higher fine to keep the ticket off your record. there will be some probationary time, which could be 90 days or even a year. 3.) opt for a defensive driving class if you haven't taken it in the last 12 months and pay a fine to keep the ticket off your record. you would also have to pay for the class.
    by ethospathoslogos at 11/19/08 8:53AM
  • anutty
    Sorry about that! Ask Jim, he seems to know a few things about tickets!!! Now that your moving again, doesn't seem to make sence to change it now! But there again, you have lived there for a few years too! :)

  • campmagicman
    ouch (and ignore the previous comment!)
    by campmagicman at 11/19/08 12:18PM
  • adampual
    shouldn't go on your record or affect insurance.

    At least you have a positive attitude about the whole thing. :)
