Speeding tickets just pegged the WTF meter, and broke the needle

35 in a 25.

First came the $100 fine. Then came the 3-month license suspension.
Then came mandatory attendance in the State Courts Against Road Rage WTF? program, as well as a driver attitude retraining course -- both of which her mother had to drive her to because Jackie's license was suspended.

Then came the $500 fee to have her license reinstated. But she won't actually get her license back until she retakes both the written and the driving tests again... and pays the fees for those as well.
