davis_square | Ticket - duh, and ouch (Reply)

I got a ticket today in Somerville for expired registration. The danged license plate says "SEP" and today is "OCT". I'm going to the RMV with a friend tomorrow (she's driving her car) to get the registration up to date. 2 questions for Davis Square:

1. Ticket is for $100. If I get my registration fixed tomorrow, is there any way I can possibly get the ticket taken off/forgiven/lessened if I show them I fixed the issue ASAP? Who do I talk to about that possibility?

2. Do I get points on my license for this and the associated raised insurance fees?

I haven't gotten a ticket of any kind in over 15 years. I feel so dirty! and Bad!

Note to all: CHECK THE DANGED MONTH ON YOUR LICENSE PLATE AND ON YOUR WINDSHIELD STICKER TODAY!!!!
also: check when your driver's license expires. It's no fun to get a ticket for something like that which is so easily avoided.

Addendum: I got the opportunity to pay the ticket with the same check used to pay the renewal, so the ticket is paid. It was NOT a 'Somerville' ticket, it was a MA general ticket, complete with my driver's license info. So according to what others said below, I'm likely to be surcharged. Which sux. So now I likely have 2 points against me. When does the surcharge pop in? How many years will I be surcharged for?
