    Today I got a ticket on the interstate because I was "driving too closely" I was driving how I was taught to drive (using the three second rule, which is when the person in front of you passes a sign, you count one-thousand one, one-thousand two, etc...) and part of the points was from having stuff hanging from my rearview mirror. What should I do?

    maybe, but I've had 10 tickets, all of which I thought were stupid, but I didn't have a choice

    contest it, Do you live close to where you got the ticket? if so go to court with it, The worst that can happen is you'll still have to pay for the ticket. That or it could get dropped all together, that or they'll have you pay it but no points taken away.

    if you take it to court, and lose, you will not only have to pay the ticket, but also court costs.
