Pay the ticket and move on. If you do not have the bucks, they will take payments. End of Anxious.

Good luck

Can't resist telling this little true story. I was rolling along when, at a traffic light, a cop pulled up next to me and said, "Do you know at what speed you were driving?" I blanched and said, "No, I'm sorry, no." "Do you know the speed limit here?" More flustering, "No, I'm so sorry, no," thinking, what next? Where do I pull over? What happens now? When the light changed cop looked at shaken me and said, "Pay attention" and drove off.

The reason I relate this is because I can say that from then on I follow speed limits, sometimes much to the distress of drivers behind me. If I detect their impatience, I pull over and let them pass. So this can be a good thing in disguise.

I've had fortunate stories like Tina's and then other not so, but they both taught me lessons about paying attention and it seems best to be surprised when you get pulled over. My DD seems to attract the police, well, mainly because she does speed and she is negative and irritated.
Plus her car is a cop magnet. :p I'll post my stories later.

Thanks guys !!! And wow I sure see both of your points I am so much more aware while driving and notice how annoyed drivers are at me !!!! Which is a bit stressful as well . And now I relize how impatient I have been with drivers who were worried about the same thing ! It just is amazing how a anxiouse mind just doesnt want to let things go as quick , and my reaction is so linked to others reaction , if I say " I got a ticket " and my mom is like " OKAY well now you know and dont be so upset about it " , then I am okay with it but when I said the same thing to my dad he was like " OH WOW how unfortunet " then I was anxiouse all over again !
