Regarding red light camera tickets in California.? A point was added to my license, and I was not the one driving, although I was the one who paid. Let me explain...
My brother-in-law was borrowing the vehicle. I was not with him but his girlfriend was. In fact she was DRIVING and ran a red light. I didn't know anything about this until I get the picture in the mail. Obviously I was confused at first but figured it out and confronted my brother-in-law.
The thing is I never met his girlfriend and still don't know her. He decided to pay me the ticket amount so I can pay the ticket. I knew of the option of giving her info to the officials, however decided that I didn't want to start any problems with a person I don't even know. So I paid the ticket and assumed that would be the end of it.
BUT I got a notice in the mail recently that my license is going to be expired, because I have more than 3 points on my record. 2 from an accident I had last May, 1 from that ticket, and then after that ticket, I got stopped for another reason and was ticketed. I paid off all tickets as far as I know.
What can I do? Is there way to dismiss a point to get my license reinstated?
I need help ASAP as I have until 1/25/09 before my license gets suspended. Please!!!
I can't afford a lawyer, but I need to drive to work every day. I am also in charge of shopping for the kids, and going to the laundry mat, so you can understand a suspension of 6 months will be tough!
I already accept that it was MY mistake for accepting the option proposed by my bro-in-law of paying for the ticket and not disputing it. The whole reason I did this is because I didn't want any problems, and I got more problems for this problem. So I already know that and won't make that error again.
