VACOUGFAN Intervention Needed

I didn't say he'd increase the fine. He'd just add court costs to the ticket.

So the fine remains the same but now you have to pay court costs in addition to the fine bec you decided to fight the original ticket and lost.

I've seen that happen plenty of times in Virginia and fully acknowledge I have no clue if that's allowed in Utah.

We have it in my wife's car and not in my truck. When I drive my truck, I realize how much I use that feature.

If you don't value your time whatsoever, by all means fight away.

Find out if the first ticket affects your insurance premium. If it does, BM me.
