Today I had to go to the DC DMV Adjudication service for three tickets = $650.00 total! For the ppl who doesn’t know what the hell was going on, here is the short version of my story.<\/p>\n

I have purchased a scooter last year around this time. I was using it mainly for commute (and fun). It didn`t have a licence plate, registration, insurance, inspection, etc… because I was told that it was never required for a scooter under 50cc. (Mine is 49cc) And then after 5 months of usage, I’ve been stopped by an officer in downtown DC. He issued me three tickets for not having an insurance ($500.00), license plates ($100.00) and inspection ($50.00) ($650.00 in total). I denied those tickets and never heard back for a good 8 months from DMV until I received an order of suspension for my driver`s rights in DC! \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

In this letter $500.00 ticket was shown as $100.00, $50.00 ticket never mentioned and I had a penalty of $100.00 each for the two $100.00 tickets!!!!!! (in total 2×100+2×100 = $400.00)<\/p>\n

SO I went to DC DMV Adjudication services with letter in my hand to get a court day. The court day was today.<\/p>\n

I prepared a defense statement of 2 pages with evidences and all that stuff. (in VA my scooter is still not considered as a motorcycle! Go here<\/a> and check the definition of a moped. ) To make the looong story short, both tickets are dismissed (remember one was lost in suspension order!). My scooter is considered as a motorcycle in both VA and DC as the judge says, and my tickets are dismissed as a warning to me since I have taken the proper action to insure my scooter (oops motorcycle!) and register it.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I`m happy that I don`t have to pay all these crap tickets, but i`m not happy that my scooter is considered as a motorcycle, since I have to deal with all this registration and motorcycle driver`s license issues! Oh well….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
