Ok... I got a ticket because I hadn't renewed my registration last month. It's only a $25 fine, but I have to pay $100 court costs if I plead guilty and send in the check by mail.

If I show up to court, will they waive the $100? HAHA yea right

Is there any way to avoid the $100 fee? The $25 fee is so small, I don't see why I should go to court... Seems like it would be easier and less hassle to just mail in a check for $125.

Do you guys agree??

I think you should renew your registration and not worry about getting tickets.

But when I show up, won't I still have to pay the $100 court costs? Will they waive just $25 or the whole $125?

For the record, I'm all renewed now

^^^^That used to be the way it worked.

Either recently, or in the not-too-distant future, though, they're actually cracking down on this, and there is a fine (but it might be from the DMV, not the court system) for letting registration lapse.

I paid attention to that bit because I used to be really bad about letting my registration lapse, simply because there was no real penalty.


^if your charges are waived, you pay no court costs.

This happened to me a few months ago, and all I did was go through a line at the courthouse, show them my ticket and renewed registration, and they dropped it. I didn't have to pay a dime.

^^Right. I want to say it was staggered, or else lined up to go into effect at the same time as some other new policy.

I'm searching for a link now.


It's not registration. It was insurance lapses. While I don't let my insurance lapse, I'm really bad about printing out up-to-date proof, and I had worried briefly about that.

i got the same ticket and when i showed up at the courthouse, the DA didn't even let me finish explaining what i was there for before he asked "do you have your registration?"... he glanced at it and said "you are free to go"
