Traffic violation procedures
in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
Hey there. Just checking in.
Back on December 9, 2006, I found myself staring down a massive fine from the authorities, and honestly, looking back at it now, it’s just one of those moments that sticks with you—not because it was life-changing, but because of how much of a headache it turned out to be. $667And that was all because I decided to get behind the wheel before I actually had my driver's license in hand.
Back on December 12, 2006, I finally sat down to file a formal appeal because I was adamant that I should have been legally allowed to get behind the wheel. See, I had actually passed my driving test way back on March 18 of that year, so technically the skill was there—I just hadn't gone through the tedious process of picking up the physical license from the DMV yet.
So, I just got hit with this notice on November 12th, telling me I’m officially in the wrong and that I have exactly fifteen days to cough up the cash. If I don't settle it by then, they're going to come after me to collect it forcibly, which is always a fun thought to sit with over a coffee. The paperwork also mentions that I have the option to file an appeal with the Supreme Court of the United States if I want to fight it.
So, am I looking at a statute of limitations that kicks in just a month from now? Honestly, I’m trying to figure out if it’s even worth my breath to file an appeal with the Supreme Court of the United States, or if I'm just throwing good money after bad.
