today i was billed for mobile phone driving..

ugh. so about a month ago i got pulled over and ticketed for talking on my phone while driving (i blame my mother), i finally got the bill from dmv yesterday and HOLY HELL, it's $142 for a freaking first offense. i thought it was supposed to be a cheap-y ticket for the first offense and it gets more expensive with each.. but to start at $142?!?! damn this state and its debt.
