Most traffic violations, like parking tickets, are "strict liability": mens rea doesn't matter, if the offense was committed you're getting a ticket. Presumably this will be the same.
- dehrmann 5y agoThere's no safety aspect, so they really shouldn't be. There's a big difference between "I didn't mean to go 120 in a 65" and "I forgot to change the switch on my billing transponder to '2 people.'"
- jtsiskin 5y agoThis makes no sense, because then wouldn’t every single person just say “I forgot”? Why would you ever not say “I forgot”?
- brewdad 5y agoThat's like saying "I thought I'd be done with my errand in 30 minutes" when you get a parking ticket for staying 35 minutes. It doesn't matter the excuse, you are getting the ticket and maybe you'll be more careful about it in the future.
