When entrepreneur Chris Riley was pulled over for going 44 miles per hour in a 35 MPH zone, he was frustrated that he was fined hundreds of dollars. But instead of taking the ticket to court to fight it, he created an app.
In February, Miami native Riley launched TIKD, an app and Web-based service that allows motorists to upload their ticket information and pay 80 percent of the cost without getting points on their license. To use the service, you upload a photo of a ticket, get a response from TIKD on what you’ll pay it for its services — always less than the cost of the ticket — and the service handles it from there.
