[QUOTE="bumpinne0n, post: 2035479, member: 567700"] ..having to go to court for a failure to yield r/w ticket? A few weeks ago I was in a minor accident. I was sitting at a light waiting to turn and I thought this other car was turning, but she wasn't. I went ahead and turned and she hit me. It didn't hurt the truck I was driving but she had some minor damage on her car. We had her car fixed in less than a week and returned it to her. The court date on the ticket is for next week sometime, so I called today to see how much it was gonna cost. The woman I talked to told me she couldn't find the ticket in the system so I had to explain what it was for. She told me it was a mandatory court appearance. This really doesn't make sense to me. No one was injured in the wreck and I don't have any tickets on my record other then a seatbelt ticket, which I was told won't add points to your license. I don't have anything to prove -- I'm guilty and I know it and so does the cop that wrote the ticket. It just doesn't make sense to me that I have to go to court, miss school and drive 30+ miles to get there for a ticket that I know there's no way of me getting out of it. Any ideas as to why it's mandatory? [/QUOTE]
