Just so you know, if you ever decide to fight a ticket plan on spending ALL MORNING there....
So after waiting 2 hours and watching loads of people who are currently hosing their lives over with DUI and Minor Consumption and Possession charges and such (which was quite entertaining actually... educational too) the prosecutor called Jer up to talk to him. Then after listening to Jer's side of the story told him he could schedule ANOTHER day to actually fight the whole ticket or the prosecutor could just change the ticket to a non moving violation with no points added to the license and a reduced fee.
We took the reduced fee and no higher insurance charges... cause really? Talking a day off of work costs about as much as they charged us. So it was about 6's.
On a side note, Jer and I took the written test for a motorcycle license. He passed.
*cough*
I however did not... ROFL. I think the main reason was the fact that I have never even read the manual for the motorcycle license test. And of course questions like the following:
When Turning:
A - You look through the turn to see where you are going.
B - You lean away from the turn, opposite you motorcycle.
C - You lean with your motorcycle.
D- You accelerate.
Now, I don't know about you, but wouldn't it seam that BOTH A and C are correct??? I mean, you really probably should be paying attention to where you are going.... riiiiight? Well, apparently the DMV doesn't think so! All that matters is that you C - lean with your motorcycle!!! ROFL tricky twinks aren't they!?
Then of course there was this question....
When do most motorcycle accidents occur:
A - under the influence of alcohol.
B - at intersections.
C - at night.
D - because of inexperience with the vehicle.
Now this question isn't so hard.... except they put this dandy picture of a crashed motorcycle at night next to it. Now, isn't that trying to persuade you into an answer here people??? I should have known, but I let my guard down and let those weasels persuade me!!!! BTW the answer is B. :P
and you have to love the English test type questions with double negatives and crap.
Guess the DMV guys have to get their laughs somehow... right! :D
(look she fell for the picture suggestion!!!! MWHAHAHAHA!!!)

By the way, I would've guessed C-at night too! It's hard to imagine that driving through an intersection is more dangerous than driving at night, but whatever! Glad you got the ticket taken care of. What a pain!
That last parenthesis made me laugh out loud! I hate, hate, hate DMV tests. They are tricky in every state I've ever lived in. I didn't know you guys had a motorcycle!
