ryan,
I think what Randy is trying to say is called deffering it. You have to pay $100 then if you don't get a ticket for 1 year then it gets dropped off your record but if you do get ticket the ticket stays on your record. That is a great thing if you are confident that you won't get another ticket.
I like you have been driving since 16 and now I am almost 20. I have got pulled over 3 times on the last 4 months. No tickets. One was for a tail light, other one was running a stop sign which I never saw and third was going 52 in a 40. stupid of me.
If you have an questions go ahead and ask me someone very close to me is a judge. wink
