I'm sure this is just something i have to accept and deal with, but I am 17 and got a ticket for 75 in a 60 from and unmarked cop, and for some reason, in the town where i live, just because i am 17, a court appearance is mandatory (with a parent). This seems ridiculous that for 15 mph over I am forced to go to court. It doesn't seem right that just because i am 17 i must make an appearance for a violation that would not require a court appearance if i were older. As I said, its probably just the way it goes and i have to make an appearance, I was just wondering if this could be seen as some sort of age discrimination, it seems like a silly rule.
Also, if i have to make a court appearance, is it still possible to have a lawyer fix the ticket so i don't get any points, or is traffic school the only way to keep the ticket from adding points to my record? Thanks
