    Default What Are the Odds of Getting the Points Waived or Reduced?

    My question involves an accident that occurred in the state of: Michigan

    I received a ticket today for rear-ending someone. The charge is failing to stop in a clear distance or something to that effect. I can't afford points on my license and plan to take the ticket to court.
    Is Rochester Hills court similar to other courts where they'll waive the points if your record is near clear (I got a ticket for going 5 over back in 2001 that is on my record but I no longer have the points), or are they going to throw the book at me?
    The person I hit said they wouldn't even be contacting their insurance provider because there was no damage done to his car or mine.
    I don't care if I have to pay the fine, I just don't want the points. Any help would be great.

    You are asking us to forsee the future.

    We cannot do that. At trial, anything is possible.

    Try to get a deal to a zero point offense, such as obstructing traffic. Whether or not you can get a deal depends a lot on the court, the prosecutor's attitude, whether or not the officer appears for your hearing, and the position the officer takes on giving you a break.
