Exactly what I was thinking. I just hope I'm not required to go, because that won't really work in my favor since I needed to be there.

I got another ticket for driving into a bus lane near Penn Station in Jersey when I was picking up my sister. I really have no luck. The officer was nice enough to reduce it to something else that wasn't a moving violation. All of this makes me sound like a wreckless/careless driver, but I'm really not. There was just a lot of confusion in picking her up, so I would up going into the wrong lane. I paid that ticket online and they charged me an extra $2.50 for something on top of the $85 ticket.
