i have to go to traffic court. it isnt the end of the world. it is for supposedly running a red light. it was NOT red when i entered the intersection. it WAS yellow. i tried to slow down but was going too fast (well under speed limit but over 25 MPH). the thing is i am 46 and have NEVER had a ticket or moving violation. and it is a $242 ticket! it wasnt a person; it was a camera thing. in the pictures you are sent to PROVE you did it; you cant see the color of the light. it did turn red AFTER i was IN the intersection.
this is just the WORST possible time for any extra expenses. and yes, there is a payment plan but it very short term. like paid in 60 days.
i havent pigged out. i did exercise..........for 90 minutes and i was sweating.
i just dont want to come home and EAT in frustration or relief. and i am NOT thinking about the increase in insurance yet.
ARRRGGHH!
i already plead not guilty and now it is actually the hearing today.
me, the judge and i guess someone from city to prove i did it.
wish me lots of luck and bravery.
trying not to cry now.
