Hey
I have 3 points for speeding in a school zone (within the regular limit) dec 3 2012. I didn't know there was a school zone.
I know that in pa if you go 12 months without getting additional points, 3 points get removed. I also understand that the clock starts from the date of the violation, not the conviction.
I had no offer for a plea bargain on the school zone.
However what I am being accused of now is running a stop sign. Because I am being accused of a rolling stop rather than completely blowing the stop sign, the chances at a plea bargain are probably better.
But what I'm really asking is this : If I delay the trial past dec 3 2013, which is a reasonable goal, three points will be removed. If I am convicted, will it retroactively be determined that I violated before 12 months elapsed, and will the points be added back? If that's the case I need to delay 12 months.
I think delaying it 3 months will work, but just want to be 100% sure that once the 3 points are subtracted for 12 months of 'spotless driving,' they can't be re-added, even if you are later convicted for a violation that happened within the 12 months.
Am I right or wrong?
