I was on a minor 6 person trial where a man ( he drove a Mercedes) was contesting a traffic ticket. He was caught reading the newpaper (on the wrong side of the road at the time) while wandering all over the road and did not contest that part. He just said that he should not get a ticket or pay any fine. Took us 5 minutes but most of that was reading the charge again in the jury room and finding paper and pencil. Quinta
Ron said: Driving is very serious business in Texas today. I recently sat in on a criminal trial where an individual felt he could flee from a police officer trying to stop him. That is a felony. A DWI today is very costly and an offender is booked into jail on the first offense. Even medication can result in a DWI offense. A simple speeding ticket will cost you nearly $200 even if you do the defensive driving school.
