Driving without a license question...

Could you contact the officer directly? When I was a kid, had an officer pull me over for a tail light, and he gave me a few days to get it fixed. I met him at the station, showed him it was fixed and he tore up the ticket. Get ahold of him and explain the situation, he may help you out.

Correct, Rahm. I went and they said too bad, they cut you a break, we won't. Plus, it isn,t in the system yet, so that's where I'm stuck at. I know the officer has 5 days to submit the ticket.

That sucks, he should have submitted it that night or the next day.

According to the officer that I spoke to tonight, officers have up to 5 days to submit it in case they need to make a change. I have a feeling it'll show up on day 5. The court won't even let me speak with the prosecutor until day 12.

I had no real way of getting in contact with the officer who wrote it, so I went to the court. The court wouldn't give me any info on the prosecutor. I got a letter today saying I was eligible for deferral, for being a valued customer, and I contacted them. The prosecuting attorney agreed to drop it due to being a valued customer and told me next time just go to the agency and they'll drop it. Woot!

The old saying comes into play here , sometimes your the windshield, and sometimes your the bug. Hopefully you will be the windshield!
