Today, I got a $200 ticket mailed to me for drunk driving in Maryland. I have never been pulled over for drunk driving and I have never been to Maryland. FML

1) $200 is way low for a drunk driving offense 2) You'd be required to appear in court 3) You'd be arrested on the spot It's a scam, fool.

maybe you were just reeeeally really drunk, and don't remember driving in Maryland. eeediot.

maybe that's what you get for never going to maryland =p ignore #40. we're amazing. but yeah this sounds kind of made up >.

Like many said, it could be the result of a scam or a miscommunication. It may also be the result of identity theft. So, if this actually happened...take it seriously. Go get your credit reports and see if anything looks fishy. Contact YOUR police AND the Maryland police. Also, I made an account just to tell you this, so I do hope you take me seriously :P

I just wanted to counter all the anti-Maryland sentiment (which I knew would be here as soon as I clicked on the comments link) by saying that Maryland is great; we have our problems just like everyone else, but I love it here. :) That's all.

#44, maybe #40 is only 18, still dependent on their parents for financial security and has no choice but to stay in maryland. kill yourself.

This seems way too fake. This is what I found for a DUI in MD, so I definitely think you are either lying or being scammed. "The first time you are convicted of a DUI in the State of Maryland you will face up to 1 year in jail AND up to a $1,000 fine. If you were transporting a minor when you were arrested you could be sentenced up to 2 years in jail AND pay up to a $2,000 fine. Your drivers license will ALSO be suspended for a minimum of 45 days. Your first DWI conviction will cost you up to 2 months in jail and a $500 fine. In addition, your drivers license could be suspended 60 days." Taken from: http://dui.drivinglaws.org/maryland.php

Um. Does any state mail tickets for something other than red light cameras? Completely suspicious. As for the MD comments....I've grown up in MD and sure, there's things that are annoying, like the slow driving!, but if you hate it so much, move! It's not like other states are that far away.

A camera would not have sent you a ticket for drunk driving, as it's judgement isn't so great in that area, and the only way they get mailed to you if you got busted by a camera. I can garuntee MDSP is not sitting on the side of the road, envelopes in hand, furiously writing tickets and running them to a mailbox as quickly as possible... you would have gone to jail for the night, been slapped on the wrist, paid to re-instate your license and possibly be shopping for car insurance.... otherwise it's bogus, or you are... however you did actually get one like that, I'd make a phone call to highway patrol, and see what you can find out about your citation #... from there use logic.

iz dat even possible i guess when drunk it iz
