In Pennsylvanina if you get a speeding ticket, and you pay it, but you pay about a dollar extra, and when you get a check back for the for the amount you over paid. Then you dont cash the check, and they never close your account, and since they dont close your account you cant get points on your license. Is that true?

I understand that actually used to happen due to a accounting software glitch, but I also hear they fixed it.

This is not true. Once you get the ticket and either plead guilty or are found guilty and your appeal rights have expired, the points go on your license. Just because you paid too much, or even if you didn't pay at all, the points still go on your record. You will have money the Commonwealth owes you, but alas, you aren't relieved of getting your points. The only way to get around getting the points is to not get caught, to negotiate a lower speed, or to negotiate a plea to another charge that doesn't carry points.

That sounds like a myth. But I know a way you can reduce your points or not get points at all, but you still have to pay the fine.
I have a legal plan that covers motor vehicle moving traffic violations, plus others. My lawyer would either tell me exactly what to say at the court, or represent me if needed. You can get this plan in Pennsylvania for about $27/month, and it includes identity theft protection also, and you also get 25% discount off the regular attorney fees for court cases.
Contact me if you are interested.

Well I don't live in Penn. or know but I would assume that once they send the check to you they would close your account/File, if you don't cash then its your lose. Thats what I would think. Let me know if it does work I may have to try it in Indiana

Cash the check. If you have waited to long then go have them reissue you another check.

I am a PA resident. It is not true.
Pay the fine; take the points; drive safely in the future.

Not likely. If it were true, everyone would be doing it.
