Crazy how car drivers all think they deserve one free pass for dangerous driving.
Pay more attention.
That aside, it's bullshit that they allegedly made it difficult for you to understand how to take the matter to court. In all fairness I'm not sure I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt here, considering you missed the school zone as well.
In some cases you don't actually have an automatic court date as one would have with a normal officer issued ticket.. This is the same with parking enforcement you can receive a ticket that if you don't pay you lose your license but they can simply ignore you and if you want to fight it you have to front a few grand to a lawyer to fight it and initiate a lawsuit or represent yourself and commit to losing multiple days pay and risk your job which will not understand.
This is always a hard conversation to have. There are drivers on the road who want everyone to be safe, and do their best to function in our bad infrastructure. I try to be one of them, partially because I commuted on a bike and public transit for a long time. I did miss the sign in this instance, it was one of those "when present" signs that doesn't have lights.
Personally I want more fines for actually dangerous driving. Its hard to quantify how much dumb shit I've seen while driving as much as I do. Watching TV while driving should be straight to the drunk tank and yet i see it every day.
