Some of you might remember that I got busted speeding a few months ago and had to pay about 300$ ticket. An expensive lesson, but i've been pretty careful with not speeding since, so live and learn, I paid my fine, moving on.
Or so i thought. Because apparantly, what I paid wasn't sufficient. Because I just got nailed with another bill for "Driver Responsibility Assessment". Basically, if you get 6 points on your licence within 18 months, you have to pay this "driver responsibility assessment' bullshit charge. And conveniently, a speeding ticket is exactly 6 points!
So apparantly, i now owe an additional 300$, which i can pay now or pay at least 100$ and get bills for the next 2 years for the next 200$.
This is such bullshit. If the were going to fucking charge me 600$ for a fucking speeding ticket than they should have just charged me 600$ back when i got the ticket and been done with it!
And what does having me pay another 300$ in anyway impact responsibility for driving? It's fucking convenient that the point number that they hit you with for this extra charge is the same for a speeding ticket.
just not happy at all about this. really not in a happy place.
