I know that I am probably jinxing myself by even talking about it, but I haven’t had a traffic violation in years. The last ticket I got was on Memorial Day in 2001 when I was driving from Ball State University to Butler University to visit my sister and three state troopers pulled a dozen of us over at once.

I zoomed right past a cop, so it was my own fault. I can’t even blame my ticket on those sneaky red light cameras, but you can beat red light camera tickets in California with Ticket Bust, a service that fights, and beats, your tickets for you so that you don’t have any points on your license or increased insurance premiums.

I’ve always just paid my tickets because it was too much of a hassle to fight them myself, so it would be great to have a service to do the legwork for me in Chicago and I would bet that others would take advantage of the service, too.
