Hello,
I am a new driver and I bought a car 1 month back and got it registered in Kansas.
The license plate was little loose and on 21st of October when I was getting back from work, I removed license plate and put it in trunk so that it does not get lost. I also wrote "Tag applied for" in a paper and stuck it behind, so that people know that I have a tag. I thought I would go home and use a screw driver to tighten it. I am a new driver and have been driving only for past one month. Apparently when I was getting back home (on I-35), I saw a Kansas state trooper car with red-blue lights behind my car. I was not sure if he was trying to pull me over or some other car as I was well under the speed limit and on rightmost lane. At one point when I heard the siren, I pulled over to the shoulder. I pulled over late. I have had very clean driving records till now and now cop gave me 2 tickets
1. Failed to display tag - 8-133( and it says misdemeanor)
2. Failed to yield to emergency vehicle - 8-1530( infraction)
I was just too unfortunate that the cop who pulled me over was extremely rude too. Since I am a new driver and have owned the car for only a month, I was thinking if taking some defensive driving course would get this traffic ticket dismissed.
Thanks
