Traffic Ticket in Texas & Defensive Driving

This is my first ticket. I've heard that I can take defensive driving
to keep the ticket off my driving record, but what about the ticket
cost - $140 !!! Do I pay the ticket or is there some reduction in cost
if I take defensive driving?

It's up to the judge - last time I did Defensive Driving in Texas, I
had to pay some fees, order my driving record from the state to show
the court, go 6 months without any other tickets and get a notarized
affidavit stating that I hadn't gotten any other tickets during that
time.

You goddam criminal coddlers. You endanger people on the highways with
your criminal driving and you think even a fine is too much penalty.

Of course you won't get a break on the fine. In case you haven't figured
it out most of these tickets have nothing to do with safety and everything
to do with raising revenue.

We keep hoping that we'll thin the retards out of the herd. You say you
live around Denver?

If the OP takes advantage of the option to take defensive driving,
then they won't pay the fine at all. There will be a few fees to
pay, but even with the cost of the class, it will be much less than
$140.
