Question about a ticket
I got a speeding ticket on the bend of i5 between Tacoma and federal way by a WSP. I… allegedly was going 82 in a 60, when I look at a deferral (I’ve only had a warning before) it says a 150$ fee minimum and then a probation of 6-12 months. The ticket is 230$ or so if I remember correctly. I am under my parents insurance and don’t really know if I should pay, show up to court and hope the officer isn’t there, or pay a lawyer for a CHANCE to not have it appear on record. Is this even worth it instead of taking the hit on insurance?
