What if the court is offering a discount on the fine amount?

The increase in insurance premium may be up to 5 times the original ticket fine amount(before the discount) for every year, for up to 3 years.

Dear John, I just received the check back. It took some time but I got the full amount back, thanks to your service. I believe that, what did the trick was the paper work you prepared for me where it say: in addiction, Since the officer is acting as the prosecutor, he should provide proof that a valid traffic survey exists that support the speed limit of 35 mph for that stretch of the road.

Got a Red Light camera ticket (Automall and Fremont Blvd.) for turning right on red back in Feb.:-( Didnt think I had too much of a chance but decided I wanted to give it a shot anyways. I postponed the deadline to pay/ appear by 30 days to June 1st. I wanted to research and see if I could fight it myself or find somebody who could.
