So i got this ticket on saturday and now its tuesday for going 59 in a 35, downhill. I didnt even realize i was going that fast and i was surprized when the officier told me. I havnt told my parents yet. I had just gotten a grand prix gt after having a truck for a year, so i guess my parents trusted me enough so i could get a sporty type car, red by the way. And of course when i got it my parents were like "dont get a ticket". So how do i tell them? i decided to put it off until after my (18th) bday which is tomarrow...

if you fight it you get a letter that has a court date, there is no way to figure out when that bad larry is coming in the mail with the offical state seal and all on the envelope. you won't get anything unless you don't pay it

just be like "yeah mom, i got a speeding ticket last saturday. i just thought you should know. i'll pay for it and shit." they'll probably be most angry about the spike in the insurance bill. you'll probably want to offer to pick up a job to help pay for your insurance. that's what i had to do when i was in your shoes.

just tell them, I find the longer I wait to say something the more I screw it up and the more shit I get into. also you have a red car that is classified as a sporty type so say hello to your insurance company bending you over

just say you'll pay the fines and the difference in the insurance. say whatever you can to sound responsible and they should respect that.
