Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
ok, so 2day me and my bf got ourselves into some stupid shit...we were driving home from the mall, kinda bored, and he took out some silly string and sprayed it at a couple cars...he didnt hit anyone but RIGHT AS he did it a fuckin motorcycle cop pulls up and tells us to pull over...fuckin sucks! ok, so i was driving the car, and its a fairly new car for me, never gotten a ticket before...i didnt have proof of insurance in my car just cuz im still under my parents and i dunno, i just never thought about it much...kinda figured if it was so important they'd give it to me...
so the cop was pretty cool in that he only gave my boy a ticket...but since i didnt have proof of insurance on me i got one too, but he told me that if i go to court i can get it cleared for like 30 bucks, as long as i take my proof of insurance w/ me
ok, so i recently turned 18, which means im goin to real court, and i dont want my parents to know about it, cuz im already in trouble w/ them...but i really have no idea what to expect at court...i know lotsa people who have gone for traffic tickets and what not, but that was juvinille court, they all had their parents to back them up
im just sick of my parents giving me shit so i just dont want them to find out...this is MY issue, im gonna deal w/ it...anyone been to court? i really have NO idea what to expect, i mean what really is gonna happen...my boy isnt much of a help considering hes never been either
thanx

Re: Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
Eh, Just got out of court todya for underage drinking. Dont take it too seriously. Use Sir. Or your honor. Keep it Yes and No. No yeahs or uh huhs. Sit up straight and present yourself nicely. Im 15 but I didnt have my mom with me. I made her come for paper work but keep away so I could do it myself. My advice should work 18 or not.

Re: Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
Yeah, take her advice. I don't think there's a better way to say it! Don't come to court thinking you're gonna lose-- always have winning on your mind! Good luck!
Have a good cry, wash out your heart; cuz if you keep it inside, it'll tear you apart!

Re: Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
well if you still live with them you might want to make sure you get the mail everyday b/c they send you your summons in the mail i think...well thats how they do it here.
Oh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet
And hold the earth in place
Each time a faucet opens
Words are spoken
The water runs away
And I hear your name
No, nothing has changed
There was this book I read and loved
The story of a ship
Who sailed around the world and found
That nothing else exists
Beyond his own two sails and wooden shell
And what is held within
All else is sure to pass
We clutch and grasp
And debate what's truly permanent
But when the wind starts to shift
Well, there's no argument

Re: Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
If u go you can probably get out of it.. It just all depends on what kind of judge u get. U could get one thats pretty easy or u could get one that hates teenagers and goes hard on them.. Just make sure ur respectful and u act like ur sorry about what you did..
Are u sure u want to keep this from ur parents? If u think u can handle it on ur own thats great but I know I would be freaking out and I'd want there support..

Re: Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
For stuff like this the judges tend to be pretty easy going about it. I had to go to court a couple months ago and it was nothing difficult, once I got called before the judge we were there for less than 5 minutes, the district attorney was cracking jokes and the charges pretty much just got dismissed. It is not a hard thing.

Re: Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
All you are going to do is go to Traffic Court it isn't that big of a deal( Been there twice ). You don't have to bring your parents much less tell them. Your 18 now you are officially an adult it is your resposiblity to take care of your own mistakes. All you have to do is take your insurance and show it to the judge and the charges are dropped unless your insurance card expired before you got the ticket. Usually there is a number to call on your ticket to set up a court date or sometimes they give you a date on the ticket either way I think you can handle this on your own..
I love my Celica!!!

Re: Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
Ehhh...it should be fine. Dress nice and be polite and understanding, and you shouldn't get any horrible sentence. Maybe a warning, if you promise never to do it again.
Cheers,

Re: Ahh I Have To Go To Court!
My brother had to go to court just a little awhile go.
Don't be scared.
Just act calm and be respectful and answer questions with Yes, your honor, or No, your honor.
You should be fine..
