How To Get Out of a Photo Radar Ticket
PEOPLE PAY GOOD $ FOR THIS INFO:
I did alot of reasearch on this since Eric and I seem to be accumulating a fair amount of these tickets.
-First of all you can ignore it. They then send a server to your house who you have to try and avoid. So for 2 or 3 months you keep everyone from anwsering the door. This didn't work for us but we did luck out and actually know 2 of the servers. It seems to be a good part time job.
Then one time we didn't know him so it ended up costing a extra $50 to get served.
-Second you register your car in someone elses name. Our first truck was in my dads name so he'd just send in his ID and say this is my daughters truck so you have to contact her to find out who she letting drive. They didn't bother. I did hear that if you register your spouses car in your name and visa versa you can say, oh we are seperated and I have no idea where this guy is and you can get out of it like that too.
.
-Third - this is the one I tried today because the above choices weren't a option. Fight the ticket. So I went to the courthouse today all dressed up to try and charm my way out of this ticket. I was going to say, " I've really been trying to slow down and I think the radar isn't working right because I don't think I was going that fast." I honestly didn't think I'd get out of it but I wanted to give it a shot and it gives me something to blog about. Anyway theres a lady who takes me out in the hall and has 7 pages of information on my one little violation. Like this wonderful picture (above) and a little diagram of all the cars speeds around me, mine was the fastest dot. Then a test sheet of how accurate the little detector is, it self checks itself every 10 min and shuts down if its wrong. I didn't have a case. She asks me if I still want to appear in front of the judge or if I want to go to traffic school. I decided it was a long shot and I'd attend traffic school. The courthouse is a place you really don't want to see someone you know. I saw someone I knew and right away I said photo radar ticket! and she hurridly said ya I'm just taking care of a ticket too. HA! Kinda scuzzy place.
For Valentines I'm going to get Eric and myself a little cover for our license plates, isn't that romantic. Ya, YA I know I should just slow down, I'm trying , but just in case.

Summer told us where you were yesterday, that brought on some great stories!! Sorry you didn't get out of it...that's a bummer. I love that picture of you though, it's hilarious, you look so serious!!
Jay just got one in the mail for speeding but unfortunately your 1,2,3 won't work for him either! I got one when I was 8 months prego with Claire (I was even talking on my cell in the pic - guilty!) and tried to get out of traffic school with the prego excuse but that didn't work either. Bummer.
Sarah seriously! All that effort to get out of the ticket! Just pay the ticket girly. And register your car in your own name and answer your door and just slow down! You crack me up sometimes.
Don't worry I didn't do all the choices. I was just sharing the info before anyone else went out and paid for it. Totally gay anyways, I always get out of tickets if a REAL officer stops me b/c I have good reasons for acclerating at certain times. Dumb technology screws it all up!
I also hate photo radar! My last picture was similar to Kate's so I didn't even try to get out of it. We know a server too and he promised he'd never deliver anything to us if it came his way!
Paul has that cover for his plate and he still got a ticket (on the 101). Luckily we've only had one, and we never got served, or we weren't home when they came. Phil Green serves on the side (when he's not flying), so maybe you'll see him.=)
Thanks for the recipe, that lazy girls blog is stephanie curtis'.
DO you speed ALOT?
