DS22 had his court date

[minkydog]

First I want to thank everybody for talking me down off the ledge. As a mom, you know I always go right to the worst scenario.

DS was charged with speeding and open containers(he had 2 ). Considering he has already been to court 4 other times on speeding violations (no DUIs, though) I thought the judge was more than fair. In Georgia you're allowed to plead nolo contendre once every 5 years, so he plead nolo. That means it doens't go against his driving record and carries no points. He had to pay a $500 fine and no community service(rats!) But considering that he is currently out of work, $500 is a lotta money.

Hope he gets his act together now and doesn't make this a repeat offense.

Glad it had a decent outcome and I hope he did learn from it.

I am not at that stage yet with Cam but I know the driving thing is coming up quickly. They all have to learn their own lessons, hopefully it is without major impact.

I hope that he's learned his lesson. Not too long ago, someone else's son (who had no previous DUIs) did this to my Jeep: (I'll spare you the pics of me)

You are welcome. Told you he would just get fine.

The term is "nolo contendere", which means "no contest".
