Hi there, any advice on my situation would be appreciated.
I was recently pulled over and given a ticket for not wearing corrective lenses.
My eyes were fixed 17 years ago and I no longer need corrective lenses. I explained this to the officer, however they gave me a ticket anyways. I have had a half-dozen tickets over the years and I didn't have as much as a warning about the conditions from any of those officers. I know I should have taken care of this a long time ago, however I didn't realize it would warrant a $380 fine.
This happened on a Saturday, the following Monday I went into the Driver Exam office and retook the eye test. I scored a 20/20 and the restrictions were lifted from my license immediately.
I mailed my ticket requesting a first appearance. I have not heard back from the court as of yet.
Will a first appearance get me anywhere? Do I stand a chance at fighting this?
