My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: Maryland.
I'm 18 and never had a ticket. I'm not sure what to do, I got 5 tickets all at once which equals to $1200 in fines. The officer said he didn't expect me to pay all the fines but rather see me go stand in front of a judge.
The tickets I received are
1)reckless driving in wanton
2) negligent driving
3) following vehicle closer than reasonable
4) switching lanes when unsafe
5) exceeding speed limit 100mph in a 70mph zone.
Long story short, i was driving on the highway and I sped up and cut infront of another car which happened to be an undercover cop. I know I was not going 100mph, and no radar was used. Another thing that doesn't make sense to me is that how was I going 100 while tailgating another car?
I don't know what to do, I don't really want to pay $1200 fines but don't know if it's worth going to court. I'm not sure if it's worth hiring an attorney for these or not. I know I should have been safer while driving but I never had any other tickets or charges.
If anyone has feedback for me I'd appreciate it
