i thought about getting a lawyer, but it's gonna cost about 500. so i think i'll stay away from lawyers. what if you get a lawyer and end up losing? then you're out 1500.

ask around. find out how the judge is. i found out the judge in the jurisdiction i got caught in is fairly lenient. so i'll take my chances with him.

i also have a question for you. did the cop pull the other car over too?
