traffic school?
The Wife got caught speeding in the local trap. It cost her a $300.00 "revenue enhancement" for the State and $35.00 for traffic school.
She just left to spend the next eight hours of her Saturday listening to some goober lecture on the "dangers" of speeding on a straight as an arrow two lane rural road that never has much traffic.
Maybe a few bunny rabbits, coons, skunks, and possums are safer. For sure the State and traffic school goons are richer.
Makes me want to ralph.

Don't you have people who can 'fix' that for you?

Don't break the law....simple as that. If you do ....don't whine when you get caught.
Doubt you will find sympathy here....but you can find it between [bleep] and syphilis in the dictionary....
on second thought trh should be along to console you shortly....

The $300.00 "revenue enhancement" indicates something more than a minor infraction.
Mrs. Spanky is lucky she didn't get tazed.

Ha! When I took my motorcycle safety class in 2009, I was surprised how many attendees already had their motorcycle licenses... they were just there to get the insurance premium benefits because they'd acquired so many speeding tickets they couldn't afford bike insurance any more.

Agreed, don't speed. On the other hand $300 is more than some folks make in a week and can be devastating to low income workers.

lol
everyone's been hit to some degree by this economy
I guess that whole gardener/lawyer thing isn't working out as hoped for!
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

MY first thought was; Don't speed and the problem isn't a problem.
Second thought; You live in California. The state voted most likely to file for bankruptcy.
Third thought; $300 "Revenue Enhancement"? Is that YOUR term or what it is actually called?
A $300 speeding ticket here means the person was grossly exceeding the speed limit, bordering on Reckless Driving.
So, the other posters here are right...not much sympathy here.

I've known people go to the 4hr traffic school and class only lasted 2 hrs. Maybe she will be home early.
