This is in Maryland. Today I got a red light ticket in the mail. Its a route I take sometimes on weekends and figured I made a right on red somewhere that I wasn’t supposed to of it until I looked at the date which happened to fall in the middle of the week, during my normal working hours. Meaning, I wouldn't have any reason to be at that location, at that time, on that day - but somehow there was video and photo evidence of the violation from my car and I got a ticket for it. Then I remembered my car was at the shop for new tires and a brake inspection this day. I dropped it off around 7am and the ticket was around 9:15 am. I have uber receipts of being picked up and dropped off at the shop to prove this. Also the receipt and credit card statement from the work they did on that day.
The location of the ticket is nearly 3/4 of a mile away from the shop, at an intersection that leads to the highway. Now I'm not a mechanic, so maybe this is standard practice when putting new tires on. Maybe driving it at speed to make sure everything is ok?
I feel like all I need to do is ask them to reimburse me for the ticket since the car was in their possession at this day and time, and then leave it at that. Is it worth asking why the car was in the location it was? Is this just asking for him to get defensive and possibly not pay up?
It's no points and no insurance change for me if I just pay the $75 fine, but I'm just hoping they don't put up a stink about this.
What would reddit do?
