I got a speeding ticket at the end of November here in Michigan. I cannot have 2 points on my license at all because of my job as an EMT or I will get fired.
I worte a letter to the court explaing to the judge that I could not have two more points on my license because of my EMT job.
I also expressed my desire to become a better driver and if I could take a drivers improvment class and pay the ticket but not get the points on my license. I got a letter in the mail from the court saying that I have a court date in January and that after the Judge read my letter that she wanted to set up an informal hearing on the matter. My question is what am I going to expect now. Does that mean that I could very well take the driver improvment class? Does she want me to come in and discuss it or what does it mean that she wants a hearing on the mater after she read my letter?

i think you did exactly the right thing and the moving up of your hearing is reason for optisism.
Be sincere and bring brochures and/or names of driver improvement classes you have contacted to show the judge you are sincere. if you appear before her and explain with the passion i felt in your words, then you will be back in the driver's seat. just prepare!!

It means your letter touched her in some way. Perhaps she feels bad for you and is willing to listen to your story. This is a good thing. If you had a bad record of speeding in the past she could very well have ignored your letter. If she ignored the letter, that is where you know you don't have a chance in haites. So basically what I'm trying to say here is that your informal meeting with the Judge is a good thing, this is your only chance to not lose points. Good luck.

I'd say that since you cared enough about your job to write the letter in the first place she more than likely wants you to be more conscientious in the future about your speeding and will more than likely give you a break this time.

Get ready to meet the man who has your future in his hands! You are a genius! A great move on your part. Expect to take the driving course, BUT also expect to keep your license. Here's a tip I learned from my girlfriend, Keep a stethoscope hanging on your rear view mirror. Law enforcement officers are reluctant to cite health care workers.

Hard for us to know what is on the judge's mind....but anything is possible.
