just curious, why didn't you fight the ticket? failing to stop is usually a points ticket.
If you're under 25 you have to avoid points like the plague. A day off from work to the court to get the ticket downgraded is always worth avoiding the surcharge.

I recently had my ticket thrown out but the idiots in the clerk's office entered a guilty plea and the dmv issued a surcharge. I received this surcharge notice and the suspension notification (10 days into the suspension!) in the SAME BATCH OF MAIL!! I think I spent a solid 7 hours on the phone waiting on hold and was disconnected twice after holding for nearly 45 minutes.

as much of a pain in the arse all that was, still worth it to avoid ANY points on my license. Auto Inusrance companies here in NJ will skin you alive.
