Anyone happen to know the process of getting a stupid little $52-dollar traffic violation removed from my record (happened in CA)? I wasn't wearing a seatbelt on a trip to a 'club' 2.5 miles from my university, hence the fine. There was no drinking, obviously. We were only pulled over because it was dark and the driver couldn't see the turn lane (I wasn't the driver -- just a passenger).
A friend told me that these things automatically disappeared from one's record after 3 years...but apparently not.thumbdownmad: It'll be 5 years come January and apparently government agencies STILL see the violation.
I've never gotten any other sort of ticket or violation or academic problem in my entire life. This is freaking irritating.
:::rant:::
I realize that a medical school probably wouldn't deny or admit me based on this but it's still irritating as all ****. I don't want it to hurt my chances and I don't feel like explaining it.
I'm so mad I could . How can this stupid little non-issue STILL appear on my record after nearly 5 years????
PS. No need for the 'you got what you deserved' sermon or the 'seatbelts save lives' sermon. I always always always wear my seatbelt -- this was a minor mixup in the car arrangements and I paid the **** fine so save the moralizing **** for elsewhere.
/end rant.
