You silently curse under your breath and get to the side of the road. Of course, driving that fast has gotten you a pretty expensive ticket, which the officer writes up. He gets in his car and drives off. Now what?

Your Options

You have several options that you can choose among when you receive a traffic ticket. First of all, you can accept your fate and take the fault for the ticket.
