#21 Preparing For Legal Mistakes
I got a speeding ticket and had to retake a driver’s course. I paid for everything and kept all the paperwork, just in case. Five years later, the county decided to audit all unpaid tickets and failure to appears. Sure enough, I got a letter in the mail. I had to wait in line half a day to show them they screwed up.
From that incident, I learned to save any and all legal paperwork that I get, whether it’s a parking fine, or a judge signed a letter of dismissal. I save them all because I don’t trust the courts and never want to end up in jail because someone else screwed up.
