Well Dill, speaking of ridiculous tickets. I just got one for $93 for failure to carry an insurance ID card. I decided to ride the bike to work to save on gas and come over the crest of a hiil not more that two miles from my house and there is a cop sitting there with his radar gun and he pulls me over. OK, I really wasn't going that fast, so he asks me for my license, registration and Insurance ID card. OK, got a licence, have registration, and an expired insurance card. Hand the stuff to him. He comes back and tells me he isn't going to give me a speeding ticked just an infraction for not having the insurance ID card. What could I really say - nothing. I get to work and look at it and its $93. Really glad I saved on that gas money and took the bike to work today. I'm honestly at the point where I think we are spending too many of our tax dollars on law enforcement so that regular citizens can be cited for ridiculous infractions like seatbelts, insurance cards, etc.
I had to pay a 100 fine for having an uninsured vehilce.
Thing was broken sitting on blocks at my Moms house. had been there for six months.I knew it was destined for the junk yard. So I let the insurance lapse, but did not cancel the registration.I got a letter form DMV telling they were notified by my insurance company that I had not renewed insurance and i could either send them 100 or take it to court.
took it to court went somthing like this.
Judge: "Was the vehicle registered?"
Me "Yes Sir"
Judge:"Did you cancel the insurance?"
Me "yes Sir".
Judge: "Pay the the clerk on the way out,Next case please."

The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams
