The state has done much to remedy the "overpaid" ticket thing...

If a system shows that you overpaid, and the ticket goes unresolved, or stays in "pending"... your DL status will go to "pending". It used to stay like that for a small undetermined amount of time...

NOW, the system waits 10 days, AND THEN YOU'RE SUSPENDED...

I know this from first hand actions. I had paid a fine, but thought I had two fines on the ticket, but it was only one, so I over paid double on one check. And two months later, UMPD stopped me for DAS (driving after suspension). No ticket was issued, and I was allowed to return home.

If failure to respond to a fine is kept for more than I THINK 6 months, then a petty warrant is issued for your arrest for failure to appear.


And although honesty may get you a ticket, he did pull you over anyway, so he had to have at least THOUGHT you were speeding... I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing that cop was full of it... You'd probably been issued a ticket anway.
