So I received a speeding ticket yesterday in Oregon while driving home from the beach. I live in Clackamas country and was hit with the ticket in Brenton country, it's a very long drive and I'm not going back to fight it since I was speeding. My problem is the court date is already set for the 24th, and the fine is for 260 dollars. There is no way I can come up with that much money that quick, since I'm paid bi weekly. I have a 20 year driving record and this is the first ticket I have ever received from a Police officer so I am unsure is 260 is high or not. But I did also receive a ticket by a camera recently(which I am going to fight) that was $165.
I'm unsure what to do with this, it looks like I'm supposed to mail this back and send a check? (people still use checks?) If I call do they give me other options like payment plans for later after the court date and not before? If I send a note back with the citation and choose no contest, is there any chance they will reduce it due to having a 20 year clean driving record? Sorry, lots of questions, just hoping someone has some experience with these in Oregon.
