THEUniversityofNevada Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I got a speeding ticket back in December here in Nevada. I'm guilty. I was going 53 in a 35. I've been procrastinating about my options for weeks. Option 1: pay the fine and take the point. Option 2: pay a slightly reduced fine, take 5 hours of online traffic school, no points. So, this past Monday was decision day, court date was coming. I finally make the decision, F it! I'll take the point. I can't take 5 hours of online traffic school. I go to pay the fine and discover, Option 3: Pay an extra $100 on my fine and get no points. WTF? I paid it, but isn't that like...a bribe? "Pay us a little extra and we'll make this whole thing go away." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
