Yeah okay, I took a chance and I got caught.
Driving through Atlanta, rather then taking the 285 around.
Anyways, anyone got any idea as to the range in price this ticket could cost?
Also, why is a court appearance mandatory, when I'm admitting guilt and plan on paying the fine?
Thanks for any help/suggestions/answers in advance.

| Every ticket I have ever received has either had the fine schedule printed on the rear or I was supplied with a fine chart with the ticket. When in doubt, call the courthouse that you are required to report to. |

Fight it! Claim ignorance that you couldn't get over to the 285 bypass because of traffic and felt it would be safety hazard to attempt a turn-a-round :wink:
Get the supervision.
BTW- what was the ticket for? Failure to obey a traffic sign or something? |

Sorry-won't work Bandit. Been tried and failed :P
The only thing you could do, and you didn't hear this from me, is the only way you're allowed to run into Atlanta and not taking the bypass is for Pickups or Deliveries.
Use your imagination on what you can do because I'll be damned if I'm gonna put it down in black and White :P |

You could always mention that you were making a pick up at the airport and pickup location was actually inside 285. North Cargo should work, Hapeville Ga. Luftansia, Fedex, DHL, several other companies. Awful busy place and lots going in and out.

If you are making a pick up, you wouldn't have that paperwork. I usually only have a confirmation and that sometimes is signed by the wife and not with me.

if you have a mandatory court appearance, you were charged with doing something else wrong, like speeding more than 15 over or wreckless driving or something, check the ticket. |

| Ticket for Driving through and not around use to be just 100.00, but that been some years ago. more than likely gone up. I've had to go inside Atlanta many mnay times no problems, but with my luck, if I tried to sneak through, I'll see the Blue Light Special. |

I've gone strait through at least 6-7 times. the first time I actually had a pick up. second time was because I delivered inside the loop but the rest I just said screw cause they never messed with me before. I think someone was doing something to attract attention. |
