I was waiting for my car while it was gettin an oil change and this guy was also waiting, bitchin about life in general. I was the only one in earshot of it,so I fell victim.Aanyway..he was complaining about geting a speeding ticket..which out here a typical C code ticket is 190.00.
He said his friend told him to pay the ticket with a check/money order in an amount slightly over the priciple. (195.00) The court will cash your check, and will reimburse the extra ($5). He then said, not to cash the $5 check. They will not be able to put it on your record/driving history until it is cashed(closed). IDK..I asked him, 'well, if they can't completely close it, then doesnt it remain unpaid'? he said no, because they have already cashed the amount of ticket. I wouldnt trust it..but wondering if this makes sense to any of you..or have any of you tried this?
