that's for sure. Unless you're talking to your lawyer, you never admit guilt to anyone.
Every time I've had a ticket,I did the driving school and only paid a $50 court cost. I never paid the fine. I haven't had a ticket in over 6yrs, so maybe things have changed. (BTW: I'm in Houston too).

 

I keep hearing people say never admit guilt. Well its been awhile but Iwas pulled over 4 times in high school and because I was honest I only received one ticket (Tag in window not on car) which was a non moving violation. Its not only about being honest but your demeanor to the officer as well. Thats almost more important then guilt.

 

Short of actually having at-fault accidents involving personal injury, the consistent disregard of right of way rules as described in post #1 is about as bad as it gets, attitude-wise. You've been teaching yourself (and your "muscle memory") that a STOP sign is not an absolute requirement. That it only means what you want it to mean at the moment (stop? yield? roll? what STOP sign?). And been lucky about itup until now in more ways than just your current situation. Here on the forum, we aren't bound quite so strictly to the concept of hearsay vs independent proof, andyou've admitted to being a repeat offender. Hopefully for you, the judge will never know or suspect this. Hopefully also, you won't ever be the guy on the right-of-way road when and where some other driverdoesn't takehis STOP sign seriously.

Hopefullytoo - you'll take the above as constructive criticism rather than flame.
