WOW... so, I got 2 tickets while my car was parked on June 8th, for expired registration and expired inspection. The cop didn't write in the due date/court date however. It said on the back of the tickets that they would send something in the mail if nothing was written in. So I waited for weeks for that and never got anything, and then I went out of town for a while and forgot about it.
This morning, by chance, I decided to go take care of those things finally, as I have saved some money this month finally. Got it all up to date, got an inspection, etc. Just now I remembered to call and check when my court date is, to get them dismissed (I almost forgot because work is busy, almost decided to check tomorrow). They told me it's TOMORROW at 9am. Like, what kind of timing is that?? I feel so lucky I decided to get them updated this morning and that I remembered to check. I would have been forced to pay and probably had a bench warrant too if either of those things hadn't been done today. Whew...
