Legal Trouble

Hi all,

I just got my second ticket in less than a week. Honestly, its my fault - I was speeding. Reguardless, now that it has happened - what can I do to minimize the consequences? Up until now, my record is perfect. I am in Portland, OR and got both tickets here. Anyone had any success reducing fines/points/insurance consequences from tickets? How did you do it?

I figure a buch of STI/WRX nerds (like my self) might have some insight!

Thanks

Like Snohumper said, traffic school is your best option. You can take it only once every 18 months and of course with each course completed 1 point is taken off your driving record. A way do reduce insurance rates is if your a student. If you get like a 3.0 GPA or higher, your insurance will be like 20% cheaper than the original rate. The discount amount also depends on the insurance companies. Just some food for thought.
