So, I got popped for speeding in Bellevue a little while back (10 over...really?) and had a court date here which happened to coincide with my birthday unfortunately. Happy birthday to me, I know.
I'm the type of person that likes to chat with people wherever I go, and I immediately started hitting up the staff there. They are all very friendly for having to deal with some "unsavory" people on a daily basis. I asked them about typical days, what they have to put up with, the usual.
The judge was also fairly nice, very matter of fact and straight to the point. Right off the bat she informed me of my options, unfortunately it did not involve a reduction (which I thought was lame) but that I could choose to get it deferred. I don't remember her name, but everyone out in the lobby seemed to agree that she was very lenient.
After paying $150 bucks to defer a $124 speeding ticked, I was a free man again. Thanks a lot Bellevue, the people there are nice, but it would behoove you to make it a little less obvious that you are just out to make money.
4 stars for nice staff, no 5th because...well probably because it was my birthday and I was in court. I may have been a little put off heh. read more
