    If your court date is tomorrow, they should hvae the exact amount. It's simply by their laziness that they won't look up to see what that amount is...I friggin' hate cobb county. Try calling again, and maybe you'll get one of the not-so-fatasses that will actually do their job...

    A word of advice:

    Do NOT go in there like a bull in a china shop with your horns lowered ready for a fight. It will serve you no purpose because THEY hold ALL the cards.

    Be humble. Be smart.

    Get there EARLY. Give yourself time to talk to the Prosecutor BEFORE your case is called.

    Go up to the prosecutor and ASK him/her for leniency. Tell them you are supporting yourself while going thru school. Tell them that you truly need your license to get there because your only other alternative is too far away. Tell them the truth and don't try to embelish it. People can always tell when you're being truthful and when you're not. Remember, this is what they do for a LIVING. They know.

    BTW, the only reason why I'm even trying to help is because you came off as remorseful. You should use that same remorsefulness tomm with the prosecutor. They don't like snotty nose punks anymore than the next person. Difference is, they can really put the screws to you.

    Good luck.

    Yea just wear some nice pants and a nice shirt. Honestly you should be ok if you have a clean driving record. I had a following to closely ticket about a year before my speeding ticket, talked to the DA before I went up to the judge and she said that because I had a good driving record she was going to drop it to 23 over so that I could keep my liscence. However I still paid the fines for a 26 over ticket. Better than losing your liscence though. The damn county probably wants me to stay on the road though so they can keep pulling me over and getting my money. (and because I know someone will say it, yes just not speeding is easier and I should probably not speed but I dont forsee that happening anytime soon, I was raised in a family of speeders)

    On another note, I had the same judge both times....doubt he remembered me though.
