So, last summer I was pulled over on a long weekend when I first bought my car. It was my first time buying a car by myself so I didn’t realize that switching the plate from my old car and having the Bill of Sale for both vehicles wasn’t good enough till Monday, where I could register / insure the car when stuff opened.

I had a court date last year but was at work so I hired a traffic lawyer that (supposedly pleaded guilty, which I did not find out until today.)

Anyways , I have a fine to pay, and if I do not pay it by the “due date” the other option is spending 10 days in jail.

Does anyone know if I just took the 10 days instead of the fine if that would affect my criminal record (that is clean) or my life at all?

I am visiting family in BC and want to bring dinner for them from Calgary. Looking for suggestions on something tasty I can pick up for a large group thats well-sealed for a long drive.
