Default ticketed in GA

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

I actually got away with it ONCE and I know a couple of others on here have done it but do it more than once you're pushing the odds :P

I have driven through Atlanta a bunch of times and didn't get caught.I think the cop just saw you do somewthing you were not supposed to be doing.

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.

Won't work-They'll ask you for your Bill of Lading before they write you a ticket
