Hi all!

I have one quick question. Got today my first speeding ticket (going 75mph - limit was 65mph).

I need to show up in court in december and total bail is $ 0.

Now my question is : what to do?

Do i show up on that date in court and pay for ticket?

And how much i need to pay anyway,if ticket shows bail is $ 0 ?

Someone told me to go to Ticketbusters and they will do it for me,what they do anyway and how much it cost?

any advice?

DMV.org: The DMV Made Simple


Nevada's Point System
In an effort to promote good driving across the state, the Nevada DMV has instituted a system of demerit points. These points go on your driving record when you're convicted of certain traffic violations, and if they add up too quickly, you can even lose your driving privileges.

Point Scale
The following is a list of some of the most common infractions and the points assigned to them. For a full list, please see the Nevada Traffic Violation Codes (read the explanation at the top of that document, which explains how the codes translate to points).

Reckless driving: 8 points
Careless driving: 6 points
Following too closely: 4 points
Failing to give right-of-way: 4 points
Failing to yield to a pedestrian: 4 points
Disregarding traffic light or stop sign: 4 points
Driving too slowly: 2 points
Speeding (up to 10 MPH over limit): 1 point
Speeding (11-20 MPH over limit): 2 points
Speeding (21-30 MPH over limit): 3 points
Speeding (31-40 MPH over limit): 4 points
Speeding (41 or more MPH over limit): 5 points
Note: In some cases, commercial drivers will receive more points for the same infractions as listed above.

^^^

The general rule is that if you receive more than 12 points on your record within a 12-month period of time, your license will be automatically suspended for six months.

I had that experience as well. The cop that gave me the ticket told me about it. This was over ten years ago though.

It was a small speeding infraction but the extra fee turned it into a parking ticket. Poof!
