I am 17. Live in Montgomery County, Maryland. Got a ticket with fine of $570 for going by a school bus with red lights flashing. I have a court date next week.
Basically, I am a high school student, in AP classes, I am an athlete, and I am applying to colleges, so I do not have time for a job, so I do not have $570. How do I explain this to the judge to get him/her to lower the fine? Also: is it possible to request that I do community service rather than pay the fine?
