Cars, Cops and Money: Today, a state trooper ticketed me after learning I was ticketed...

Today, a state trooper ticketed me after learning I was ticketed for the same offense an hour earlier, namely driving with a broken headlight. The good news is that both tickets will be dismissed if I go to court. The bad news is that I'd have to go to different courthouses at the same time of day. FML

Today, I received a ticket for not having my headlights on. The cop who pulled me over had a broken headlight. FML

Today, I got pulled over for a busted tail light. The officer gave me a warning and told me to fix it. Ten minutes later I was pulled over again for the same busted tail light by the same cop. This time he wrote me a ticket. FML

Today, I got pulled over for violating hands-free law and not having an updated address on my driver's license. Two days ago, I got pulled over for the same reasons. Now, I have four tickets I need to deal with. FML

Today, I went to contest a parking ticket in court. I came out 3 hours later, all charges clear, to a new parking ticket on my windshield, for the same amount I just got cleared. FML

Today, I got a speeding ticket. I wrote a check, and on the way to deposit my fine, I got another one. I put both fines in a box down town, and I turned around to see a cop putting a parking ticket under my wind-shield wiper. FML

Today, the blinker on my car was broken so I decided to play it safe and drive a different car to work. I guess it wouldn’t have mattered which car I drove, as the cop nicely told me one of the headlights was out when he pulled me over. FML

Paperwork and bureaucracy

Today, I went to court because I got a traffic ticket for running a red light. While I was in court, I found out it was actually for a car I had sold years ago. FML

Today, I was driving home from work when I saw a cop come up behind me. Nervous about my expired license, I kept checking in my rear view mirror. In turn since I wasn't paying attention, I ran a stop sign. Needless to say the cop pulled me over and gave me 2 tickets. FML

Maybe you should talk to the judges beforehand to clear up the dilemma.

Call the court house, if you explain that both court dates conflict, they can reschedule it

I could understand one of then being dismissed. The way it reads makes it seem he was going to let you off with a warning but then found out you already received a ticket then proceeded to write you another one. If so, FYL.

Call the Clerk of Courts and reschedule one of the appointments. Then, fix that headlight and stay off that stretch of road!

Here's how to do it: on the programmed date, drive to whichever of the court has a clock tower next to it. As you come near your destination, accelerate your car's speed till you reach 88 miles per hour. Make sure you do have a few empty soda cans at hand and check the weather conditions, though. The bad news is, you're sure to get an extra ticket for speeding. The good news is, you will also be able to have it dismissed in courthouse number 3. Doc
