A Miracle

It all happened two years ago.

I got a speeding ticket.

I paid for it right away as I *think* I deserve paying if I really speed right...

Then a letter comes saying my license needs to be suspended for 3 months because of the above.

HUH??

I do think it's a bit harsh on me as this is the first ticket over 9 years, and speeding on highway with no car around me (versus speeding on city and doing car racing).

OK...this time I don't think I deserve the license suspension so I applied for dispute.

Usually the dispute should happen before you pay the ticket. In my case it's a bit different since I've already paid.

Anyway, I applied for dispute. The court letter came two weeks later that they accept the dispute.

So...all I can do is to wait for the letter of hearing.

Wait...wait...wait...

And two years passed.

Finally, I got a cheque from ICBC, with the amount of the ticket, with a note of "violation withdraw".

I am still puzzling in my head. Am I free of any charges? Do I still have good driving record?

All I know is, I got some cash in my bank...

But lesson learned...I am driving speed limit in ALL cases...rush or not...

Cars still passed by...some with a furious look. But I have to drive in a cool state of zen. You never know when the bad driving record comes back and haunts me.
