ticket advice (MA ticket)
«

my girl just got a ticket while in Cape Cod, MA. she said the cop just walked right up, asked for her info, went back to car and came back with the ticket. didnt even give her a second to even explain herself or anything.
she got a ticket for going 55 in a 40 which she didnt even see a speed limit sign. even on the ticket itself it shows that there isn't a posted speed limit sign
here's the dilemma though:
she comes home tonight so there's no way she can fight this.
does MA offer traffic school online as well as being able to pay the ticket online? because i dont think she can get any points on her license.
i don't know crap about how MA driving law works and what not so for those of you who live up state if there is anything that would help us, please let me know.
i also noticed that he didnt even have her sign it so is this even a valid ticket? 99% of florida tickets are printed out from their laptops in the car unless its a biker cop who has to physically write down the information
thanks

Usually, that info is on the ticket. MA is an ass backwards state for driving. This might help:

i'll have to look at it later. we just want to know if driving school is an option to avoid the points. she has no problem with paying the actual ticket

I would check your state laws. Some states don't transfer points over if you get a ticket in another state.

I never actually paid my tickets in MA until the last minute before I moved out of the state. For years, I would drive around and not have any problems. My insurance rates never changed either. I think it also depends on the relationship that your state has with the state you get a ticket in. I know some states work with each other, but most states tell each other to GFY.

i found my answer on the FLORIDA dmv website. no matter what state you get it in, you accrue 3 points for speeding against your license and (obviously) since it's not a florida ticket you CANNOT take a florida drivin course to get rid of the points. sucks but lesson learned on her part from now on!

To bad you live so far away. I have a feeling if you went to court for that you could get off...
A. I didn't know the speed limit
B. I never received the ticket.... No signature means no acknowledgement of accepting it.
