I asked him about a restricted license for at least at work (I need to drive for fire patrol) and he said no. The Bailiff took my license right then and there.
I called DMV a couple of days later and asked about a restricted license and she couldn't believe it. She's never seen anything like it. I haven't had a ticket in about 12 years. But she also told me the suspension was only 10 days. My job had given me 5 days to get a restricted license or I would have been demoted out of my position until the suspension was over. By the time I got back to work after my weekend, my suspension was over.
All after all that, I ended up saving a whopping $12 in fine money.

Don't worry. I had no plans of taking it to court. It was a 2 lane road with him coming toward me as I came over a crest. I'd rather pay the ticket and have it wiped away from traffic school. I just have to be "good" for the next 18 months.
