So my license is revoked |

I got a speeding ticket back in December. I went to talk to the DA to get it reduced and he reduced it but I was still gonna have to pay $200. I don't
have $200! I only get $650 a month in disability and I have to pay my rent and lights and food, etc. I'm left with a handful of change to last me the
rest of the month! I got a letter today stating that I now need to pay $270 to pay off the ticket and get my license reinstated. I've begged the clerk to
let me make payments but they want it all up front. She said if I don't turn my license in, they're gonna come and take it from me. I can't go
without my license! I have to get back and forth from school! I've been crying all morning. My friend suggested that I ask my roommate if I can skip out
on paying the rent next month (his parents are rich so they could help him out) and pay him back the rent in payments. I don't expect you guys to have any
magical advice for me. I just needed to vent for a second.

Are there other bills you can skip for a few months, like the electric? I know my electric company will let you miss payments for over 6 months before they
turn your power off.

Do you have a credit card? If so, will they accept it? At least with a credit card, you can make payments.

be home in a few minutes so I can ask him about skipping out on the rent next month. Keep your fingers crossed.

I will NEVER EVER speed again!!
I was going 54 in a 35 and it was REDUCED to 45 in a 35. It was one of those roads where the speed limit is 55 and then it suddenly (with little warning) turns into a 35. I happened to be at the 35 part still thinking it was 55. When he reduced it I was thinking, "Oh okay ... less to pay." Then he said, "So that'll bring your total down to $200..." I nearly shit a kitten right there in the courthouse! |

just think if you were in a construction zone speeding like that- your ticket would have been like $1,000

I'm in school full time, which I know is no excuse to not get a job considering people work and go to school full time all the time. I'd have to get a
"work ticket" from disability in order to get a job which requires a lot of bullshit to go through just to obtain the work ticket. That's why I
opted to go back to school. It was easier than trying to get a work ticket.
Anyway, I've spoken with my roommate and he's currently speaking with his mother to see if she'll help me out. I'll update when I find out what she says. |

When you are done with school will you work full time and not get disability? I'm sorry if that is a stupid question, or too personal...I just don't
understand how the whole thing works.
I hope everything works out for you! |

My roommate spoke with his mother and they're going to lend me the money. When I get my financial aid check, I'll pay them back.
That's a huge weight off my shoulders. :: sigh :: |
