A month ago, I had a braking failure and hit the back of a military convoy vehicle.

My car was totaled and I have a ticket priced at $350

Fortunately I have insurance and I walked away with no injuries. No soldiers were harmed and the convoy didn't get a scratch.

I'm currently trying to speak with some people about lowering the ticket cost.

Does anyone know how I can possibly plea for a lesser violation. I understand that I'm at fault, I just want a lower fine.

Ask about a driver safety class and/or community service.

Use the austistic sympathy defense.

Or tell them you should only have to pay 3/5th the fine because of your skin tone.

Just be glad they didn't think you were a suicide vehicle.

Just use your white privilege. I get out of all kinds of shite when I play that card.

They give zero fricks about the violation or public safety. Tell them you will be happy to pay the fine but ask they make it a non moving violation. You will save way more on insurance over the long term.

I understand that gas isn't free but I want to pay less than everyone else

I understand why we pay taxes, I just want mine at a lesser rate

I was on highway 117. Some little town outside the Vernon Parish area. It wasn't Leesville. I have to go back and check the report.

Yeah... the default response for not paying attention and there's no witnesses to refute it.. Used to get that all the time from my drivers.

I'm black. Plus I dont think privilege exists, it's just classism and based on our culture, more whites tend to have more wealth.

I'll save the cavaets of that for later.

If you haven't used it yet, would be a good time to use your PTI. Basically keep it off your record and do the online course for ~$120 bucks
