I recieved my first ticket ever yesterday (I've had my lisence for over six years) and I was super bummed, because it was due to expired inspection stickers (2 months old) on my father's vehicle I was borrowing.(Yes, I am insured on this vehicle). I am more than willing to pay the $50.00 ticket - I understand it is the law; however, I am extremely nervous of the two points I will get on my perfect driving record. I was told by a friend that there is a way to pay the fine, but waive the points and avoid the insurance surcharge. I am on a very fixed income and I'm worried about this. Has anyone heard of this "waiving of the points"? Thank you in advance!!!

you shouldn't get two points on your driving record for an infraction, which driving with expired tickets is.
You get points for moving violations (e.g., speeding, running a red light, etc.), DUIs or accidents.

An expired inspection ticket is not a moving violation, and carries no points, it's essentially a fix it ticket. Who told you that it carried a 2 point penalty?

In Ky you have to take a class to get the points taken off. It is usually an evening class and you are there for 4 hours. You watch a movie and hear a lecture.

If you get the vehicle inspected and bring the inspection receipt to the DA on your court date, he/she'll dismiss it without issue - its a "fix-it" ticket. Who told you you'd get points for this?

In florida you can take a 12 hour driving class and the points are taken from your record.

to my knowledge you dont get points for a expired tag, go to the local mayors court where you recieved it and fight it, ever ticket has a court date on it

Sure go to court and explain to the judge your feelings in most cases if it is your first offence he or she will drop the charge Good Luck

go to court on the date on the ticket. i don't think you'll get points for this offense though.
