I was supposed to move my car last night but I forgot. The ticket is for $65 but I found a dollar on the ground near my car so I’m actually only out $64.

I set an alarm in my calendar so I won’t forget next time.

    The guy who taught me to drive called his speeding tickets a “fast-driving surcharge”. Eventually he got one for $800, which was a lot of money for a graduate student.

      Where I live you also get demerit points on your driver’s license. Collect enough points and you have to hand your license in. Do it enough and you lose your license entirely.

        It’s the same here (or maybe we’re both in the same place) but if I recall correctly, the guy I’m talking about never got to that point because he had to sell his car. He couldn’t afford the cost of insuring it with all those tickets on his record.
