Driving without glasses in Arizona ticket is $544

[brandimf]

Hello I was given a ticket section 28-3480 for not wearing my contacts and the ticket came out to be $544.72, has anyone else gotten this ticket and it been so much?! I feel like this is a mistake, does anyone know what the price of a ticket for not wearing your contacts should be, or does anyone know if this HIGH price is indeed correct. Any information on how to get it reduced would also be greatly appreciated, thank you.

You were driving illegally if you need corrective lenses and were not wearing them. Why are you surprised?

I am surprised at the cost of the ticket, over half of a thousand dollars? Seems like a mistake

violation of section 28-3480 is a class 2 misdemeanor.

Class 2 misdemeanors in Arizona are punishable by up to four months in jail and a fine of up to $750. (Ariz. Rev. Stat. §§ 13-707, 13-802.) Intentionally exposing another person to an infectious disease is a class 2 misdemeanor.

So, the fine/fee is within the range.

Were you at least wearing glasses?? I mean, if I don't have my contacts or my glasses, I shouldn't even be anywhere near the driver's seat!

You must wear corrective lenses be it contact lenses or glasses.

"Were you at least wearing glasses?"

If the OP had been wearing glasses, he/she never would have gotten a ticket!
