Answer 1

Your own link that you provided states that the "Urban Legend" is false (see top right corner just above the article). It won't work in Tennessee, Nebraska, Alaska...... or any of the other 47 States. Sorry, and good luck.

Answer 2

Try reading ALL the text in your link:

"Comments: The words "Too good to be true" ought to be on everyone's lips as they read the above. Consider the following:

The scheme is based on this supposed loophole: "Points are not assessed to your license until all financial transactions are complete." Don't bet on it. Most DMVs probably operate like California's, which assesses points against your driving record upon conviction of safety violations. (Source: California NOPS Guidelines.)

Furthermore, states don't necessarily issue refund checks automatically when there's a small overpayment. For example, California simply keeps any excess amount under $10 unless the payer submits a written request for a refund within six months. (Source: California State Code.) Some other states do automatically issue refunds but simply cancel the checks if they haven't been cashed in a given period of time – and keep the money.

Versions of the scheme have been circulating by email for at least two years (I've got over 150 copies on file). If any states were vulnerable to it, surely they've caught wind of the loophole by now and amended their laws to fix it.

The scheme, despite being prefaced in one version with the blurb "THIS IS FOR USA ONLY," did not even originate in the U.S. Note the Anglicized spelling of the word "cheque" in the earliest specimen. Note also the name of the organization from which it originated: "RACV Touring Publications." In case you were wondering, "RACV" is the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria – in Australia, where we have no good reason to suppose the scheme works any better than it would in the U.S.
Needless to say, we don't recommend trying it. It ought to be seen and appreciated, rather, for what it is – an example of the time-honored folklore of "Beating the System."

Answer 3

It is 100% bogus.

The demerits are placed against your license immediately upon the ticket being filed. If you win your challenge they remove the demerits.

Answer 4

Go to the local traffic court and ask them.
