South Carolina
Our 19 year old from Maryland was driving to College in South Carolina.
(19) received a ticket for speeding in Turbeville, S.C.
From what I understand the Officer did not write it up as a speeding ticket, instead he wrote it up as a Traffic Ordinance citation with a fine of $588 with no points on the license.
(19) plans to go to court next week because he was told that the fine would be reduced.
I read in another forum that if a person goes to court for this kind of ticket they will reduce the fine but add points to the license.
We don't want points on the license or the insurance to be affected, should we just pay the fine and skip court? or go to court and hope the fine will be reduced and no points will be added to the license?
The Police department in Tureville is not easily available to contact for this kind of question.
The ticket says ##### FT offense code 94
Thanks
