Matthew had a message from the lawyer when he got home yesterday. The arrest warrant was recalled and removed from his record, thankfully. The lawyer also mentioned that he could get it reduced to a moving violation if Matthew went to driving school...
Could we not have gotten that done ourselves on the initial court date without the lawyer? I think so.
This whole situation is so asinine. There is no proof that we passed the bus and no proof that we didn't. It's our word against hers.
The only tangible proof that we have is that I clocked in at 7:56AM that day and she said we passed her at 6:50AM. From our house to the spot where she claims we passed her, it takes 6 minutes. From our house to where I work, it takes 1 hour and 30 minutes in rush hour traffic (which this would have been). If we passed her at 6:50AM, we would have left home at 6:44AM and I would not have been to work until 8:15AM. Hopefully, we can get the lawyer to take that information into consideration and he can get the whole charge stricken.
Though, since we missed that first court date due to all the miscommunication, that probably won't happen.
/sigh
