So I recieved a ticket a while back for a cracked windshield. I had to pay 200 dollars out of my pocket because I dont have comprehensive insurance... Whatever thats fine, it needed to be fixed. I go to the TPD and have them sign off that I fixed it, payed my 4 dollars and specifically asked if there was anything else I had to do. Now about 2 months later I recieve a letter saying my license is suspended...


I call them up to find out I still owed money on the same ticket... Somehow they neglected to tell me that even though I payed 4 dollars I somehow still owed money to the clerk... After read the back of the ticket the option where it says to get it fixed says that you have to pay ________ amount after the 4 dollars, only it was left blank, so I figured I owe nothing.

The clerk says there is nothing they can do and I now have to pay 94 dollars on top of my waste of 4 bucks.

This is utter bullshit, is there any way I can fight this or am I going to have to man up and waste more money?

 

Dude, you have shitty luck man...Oh, and IDK...? srry...

 

I thought FL car insurance had to replace damaged windshields and 0 cost to the owner, regardless of coverage..?

-R

 

Paying an additional $94 defeats the purpose of a fix it ticket, however, the fight may end up being more of a hassle than the $94. Your call, I'd probably make some calls then eat it if no one would help, sucks, but you need your license..........................

 

Nope, only if you have comprehensive...

 

Agreed.

And yes somehow Ive had terrible luck with tickets lately.

 

Damn, that sucks man! I'd just eat it and pay the $94 than going through the hassle of all these douche bags, maybe go and show them the ticket and they won't charge you?

 

ouch, that's fucked up

 

that sucks bro , I had a cracked wind sheild on my old integra, i got pulled over and was given a warning to get it fixed I got rid of the car 2 weeks later i guess im lazy, I personally would eat the 94$ I hate going to court, because last time i got kinda fucked

 

Let's just put it this way:


Is your license worth $94.00 to you?
