Ever do a rolling stop? In California it is illegal, sometimes I do it and don't even think about it. Then when I least notice a highway patrol seen me do it. I got the lights and all.
Yes, I got pulled over. I showed the officer my registration and proof of insurance. So the officer wrote me a ticket and told me in about 8 weeks I would get something in the mail. Well it was more like 10 weeks and I did get something in the mail.
Before the officer left, I asked him if I could pray for him, and he agreed. I asked the Father look over him and give him wisdom and knowledge to make the split second decisions and also to keep him safe, in Jesus name I pray. The officer thanked me, and I must say, I felt better and I did want this officer to remain safe.
So since I felt good after I prayed for the officer, I think it is something for all believers to try.
So back to my ticket, it said I could pay the ticket online without going to the courthouse, but if I wanted to, I could pay for it at the courthouse.
Well, I really didn't want to go to the courthouse, so I paid online. Also I decided to go to traffic school, which is a good thing if you don't want your insurance fees to go up, so i paid extra so I could go to traffic school. So my ticket cost about $212 plus the traffic school fee and maybe another fee it was a total of $274.60 which I paid online with my credit card. Oh, and I still have to pay for the traffic school itself, the $274.60 was just what was require for the courthouse.
So I did find an online traffic school called, In and Out Traffic School, there is a package that they have that cost about $37. I think that is the one I will go with, I will wait for the courthouse to send me instructions of traffic school first.
I read that I have within 90 days to finish my traffic school after I pay my ticket. And I heard you can do it in a day, or stretch in out for several days. It is online so you can take your time up to the 90 days after you pay the ticket.
I told a couple of young people that if they ever get caught by an officer, and they allow you to take the traffic school, to take it. It will cost more money than just paying the ticket, but it will save over time as the insurance will raise the price of the insurance cost with that on your record. You take traffic school, the insurance companies can't use your ticket against you to raise the cost of your insurance, because of the ticket, that is, as car insurance will always rise, but you don't want it to rise because of your ticket.
So I did pay the ticket and now I do have to do my traffic school, but I will wait for instructions from the courthouse.
Let's end with a scripture, as it is written, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this the whole of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13.
