[QUOTE="Jackburton, post: 1187424, member: 34538"] Save your money. I received a ticket for 40-6-16 ( Georgia move over law) violation in my personal vehicle, failure to move over. Basicly it was given to three, yes three of us as we entered the highway, 200 yards from the exit ramp where two police pulled over a landscape trailer. Basicly it was a BS ticket and given at a known police moneymaking speed trap/DOT hotspot. I contacted legal counsels from three firms all wanting 300-500 bucks to just go in and negotiate at the initial hearing, not a trial. The ticket itself is anywhere between 400-600 bucks with three points on your record I spoke to the third attorney and basicly in nutshell he said that its not worth fighting traffic tickets since they are all about money, especially in jurisdictions where revenue from the past 5 years has been low, hence the DOT pulling trailers and tractors over to nickel and dime companies to make up for shortages. All that being said I walked in the municipal court and waited for my turn to approach the court. Two court attorneys on behalf of the state were there and I could hear them making deals with defendants. When my turn came up I simply told them I understand what it is, I'd be willing to pay the fine but no points or record of the ticket on my DMV in return. Signed off on it and paid the fine, needless to say I am still bitter about it to this day. [/QUOTE]
