Reply to comment by nakedvagina in Vets that still do NOT allow owners in by blooobery
Even when they let you come back to the room, some services are done by removing the pet to a specialty room while we still wait in the exam room. If a vet really wants to defraud you, they can inject your pet with saline, instead of a vaccine or medicine.

The responses are all on point. Wear a suit if you have one or best clothes available. Be respectful to judge and all court employees. If there were mitigating factors, explain but preface explanation with "I'm not try to excuse myself, but just explain why I did what I did." If you were just being an idiot, well, perhaps say that this is not how I typically drive and I apologize to the court and the public. Do you have any other violations in recent years? If not, you can point to that as example of of driving habits. Look into driving schools for reducing points on license because it may be less expensive than your insurance going up (in response to tickets). Insurance rates may likely still go up, just not as much. I've never worked with traffic lawyer so don't have an opinion.
Re: jail time, you need to have done some serious shit to get jail time and unless you have multitudes of moving violations or negligently hurt someone while driving, it's verrrrry unlikely. If it you had f'd up that much, the cop probably would've taken you into custody right then. My bet is that they took off immediately looking to write another ticket.

Yeah, I'm not suggesting I agree with the whole practice. Personally, I think some dude who's new to construction is perfectly capable of standing and holding a flag or something for about $100 less an hour than a cop. But I also imagine that there is some benefit to having a cop doing it versus just some kid with a flag.

Reply to Princeton's cost of life by AnonymousCatnt
2200 a month is not enough to live in NJ, period. You can't afford to live anywhere in NJ on that salary without government assistance which you can't get because you're not a US citizen (I assume because you wrote 2.200 instead of 2,200)
Princeton is one of the most expensive places to live in NJ. 4,000 a month = 48,000 a year. Still not enough for NJ, especially not Princeton.
To put how expensive it is to live in this state - 58,000 for a single person per year qualifies for government assistance with rent aka low income housing, in every single county in this state. In Princeton, you can make up to 74,000 a year and still qualify for low income housing.

Similar feelings here. Every time I ran into someone at a bar and asked what they're doing and they said "oh I'm a cop" I'd think "You? But you're an idiot."

Wear a suit if you have one even if it’s just traffic court. If not, a shirt with a collar and the nicest pants you own. Always show respect in court, it goes a long way and you might get your tickets dropped down. Every question you’re asked, respond yes your honor or no your honor. I also agree with those who said get a lawyer if you can afford it. Most do payment plans.
Not trying to give you misinformation since I don’t know 100%, but I’ve never heard of anyone doing jail time unless they hurt someone or are a habitual offender so I wouldn’t stress about that.

the city holds the licenses and fees, and whoever is doing the work “pays to play”, so yeah, we all pay because the business has to grossly overpay for that contract.

Nah. Hopewell and Pennington are both extremely expensive. Not quite as expensive as Princeton but not much cheaper

I learned recently that Wayne Gretzky was commonly counted as 2 separate players for fantasy hockey purposes (goals Gretzky and assists Gretzky), just to keep things fair. I feel like you have to do something similar for Rt 1 in the “worst road in NJ” contest. So what’s worse: Rt 1- Trenton to South Brunswick, Rt1- SB to Woodbridge, or Rt 1- WB to the GWB?

What are your motivations to move to Dover? If you could afford it I would live a little north of 46 to be in Rockaway because the schools are superior.
