I made an illegal left turn in Manhattan once and I got a ticket. The officer was sitting there most likely picking everyone off. In my defense my GPS told me to and I didn’t see any signs.
Anyways my Aunt is a judge in the city for traffic violations. She says it wasn’t worth fighting a small traffic ticket like mine or even a speeding ticket. She said it’s possible to accumulate more fees, I’m not sure why or how but I trust her.
