QUESTION
Is there any way to lower the cost of my traffic violation because I can't afford it in its entirety.

More details to this question:
My ticket in Pennsylvania is $127.50 but I only have $150 in my bank account. I was wondering if there was another way to go about this at all... This is my first time I have ever received a ticket let alone been pulled over. I believe I only have until Tuesday to pay because I got the ticket on 5/17/14 around 6 pm.

I recommend that you go to the magistrate's office in person and plead not guilty. If you appear in person and don't have the funds, you don't have to post a bond.
When the hearing comes, talk to the police officer about your financial situation. Even if you're found guilty, you can ask the judge to put you on a payment plan. Traffic violations don't usually cost less than what you have been fined.
