I got into a minor fender-bender the day after Thanksgiving last year. I rear ended someone so it was my fault. Got a $164 careless driving ticket that I had a month to pay. In Florida that comes with 4 points added to your license so when I went to pay the ticket on December 26th (exactly one month later), I opted to take a 4 hour online traffic course to keep the points off. Once I completed payment for the ticket, it said I'd have 4 months to take the class. This was right around Christmas, New Years, and the start of a new semester so I just put it off since I had so much time to take it.

So fast forward a few months and I get a letter in the mail saying I had failed to comply with paying a ticket and my license would be suspended by May 1st if I didn't do so. So I went online and took the traffic course (two weeks later than the deadline of March 26th). Took my certificate to the DMV and the lady says: "By the way, that'll be $41 since you took it late". Trying to get up out of there without committing murder I just paid it, but here's the kicker- THE 4 POINTS WERE STILL PUT ON MY LICENSE.

How in balls name does that make sense?? Mind you, this test I opted to take was optional. I could have just paid the $164 ticket on day one, opted not to take the test, and took the 4 points on my license. But since I opted to take the test and didn't do it within their time frame, they charged me another fine, on top of threatening to suspend my license, AND STILL PUTTING THE ****ING POINTS ON MY LICENSE!

Can someone explain that!?

You probably had 4 months from the time of the accident, so you were late. Procrastination.
