So, I went to traffic court on tuesday to plead good driving record on a ticket i got about a month ago. Now, it was my first ticket, so I was unfamiliar with the process and didn't pay the ticket (online) till late the night before. I realized that they probably wouldn't have processed it by the next morning, so I printed out the online receipt. First it turned out that I apparently haven't been driving long enough to plead good driving record (even though the cop said I could, part of the reason that I waited so long to pay the ticket), so that shits going on my record. Then I went to the the room with the cashier and presented my receipt. The lady there said that she'd take it, and if for some reason it turned out that I still had a balance, I would just get a bill in the mail. Today, I find that I have an interesting little letter from the Division of Motor Vehicles. Looks like that stupid woman never got the receipt to whoever needed it, because now they think I never paid, and so my license is suspended! I have a 50 minute commute (one way) to work every day, and now I have to drive around without a license till this shit gets sorted out. Fucking retarded bureaucrats.
