Ok first of all, I'm in California if there's any special laws that abide for California.

I just called a traffic school, and they said I must get an extension because I need to make an appointment to the court to give them my traffic school certificate :confused:
My traffic school ticket clearly says in bold, caps, AND underline, NO EXTENSIONS WILL BE ALLOWED[i/][/u]
I call them to make an appointment, and they don't fvcking pick up!
I'm I screwed? :frown:

Go to a judge and beg. Seriously, it's your only option at this point. Get on the phone, do something. At least try if it matters to you.

ahahahaha, smart one. Why do you have to go in the first place, and how could you forget?

Good luck begging.

How does it go? A lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on anyone else's part?

ASSUMING that you haven't been in a coma since receiving the deadline date, you brought this on yourself. I wish you luck in getting things straightened up but hope you have to sweat a good bit to get it done. Please tell us how to communicate with your mother so we can tell her to make you pay the increase in insurance, the court fees, and the school fees yourself.

Maybe you could have been a responsible adult and taken care of this a long time ago when you were caught speeding, or whatever.

What time was the appointment for? If I was you, I would just go down there in person, because maybe someone like you missed their appointment and they can squeze you in.

Well the court that's around my house isn't very flexible, and only offers a traffic school every other week, and I have been busy on almost everyone of those days. On top of that, I somehow remembered the deadline was in august.
Just yesterday I was cleaning out a stack of papers, I saw the due date is TODAY!

Yes I was irresponsible, it doesn't help for you to come in here and tell me the obvious.

Just finally got a hold of the court, the peeved lady on the phone couldn't find my ticket number in the system, turned out that I needed to call the juvenile court. Finally found the juvenile court number, and called, then they redirected me to another number. Called that number, and they directed me to another number, AGAIN. Then I call the number, and it's fvcking busy... WTF is up with the court systems?!?!?

Honestly, what did you expect to happen? This is ATOT. We're harder (meaner) than an transexual bulgarian assassin. :p

You didn't really set out any viable options. It looks like you're screwed.

Not even. I understand that for many of those courses you can skip the actual "instruction" and go straight to the tests.
