Reply to comment by NativeMasshole in Driver Retraining Program 3 times for license reinstatement after 15 years of incompetence? by AllstarGaming617
Oh this is excellent information. Because of the last interaction I had with the state I thought I kind of put the nail in my own coffin by paying the infractions in exchange for the removal of the misdemeanor driving on a suspended. Akin to a plea deal, I was concerned by doing that I’d have no legal recourse going forward. Knowing they’ve had legal issues themselves, potentially the period of time in which this first happened to me might give me some ground to stand on. I’ll look into that and proceed with contacting people higher up via the mass.gov directory. I didn’t realize the RMV had a court system/legal connection to the state(most traffic courts aren’t connected directly to the RMV/dmv in other states.) thanks for the info!

You may have screwed yourself by pleading out, I didn't catch that. I'm no lawyer though.
As for the court, it's actually the opposite here. It's directly under the RMV and has no connection to the rest of the state court system. Which makes them hell to deal with, since they don't have any real oversight, so they do what they want. You're probably going to need a lawyer, unless someone with power takes pity on you.
Sorry my state fucked you over!

Makes perfect sense now understanding that. During both arrests actual courts would look at the evidence and see reason. Never really had difficulty with them because I always had the right documentation. Never understood why I had so much success removing/expunging the misdemeanors for driving on a suspended with them, yet couldn’t resolve a stupid lane violation for over a decade. Never realized they essentially had no connection. I’ve always been proud of being an “honorary” masshole. I grew up on the border less than 10 minutes from my house to Webster mass. My college girlfriend went to school in Springfield so I spent a lot of time there. Then after college I met my wife who’s from the north shore and we had a place on Salisbury beach for a few years before buying a house in Nashua and getting married. She still works for a town government in mass and my business does a fair amount of work there as well. I’ve always loved the state, still do, but this shithousery is beyond comprehension lol.
