Did you do something stupid behind the wheel? Oops. Don’t stress out, there’s an app for that.

The app “Off the Record” claims to help make those pesky moving violations disappear. Yes, it’s legal and no, it’s not free. They charge $250 for up two violations and $50 for each additional violation (man you are a terrible driver).

You snap a picture of the ticket, answer a few questions, and an attorney takes care of the rest. If the lawyer can’t reduce the ticket, you get your money back.
KING 5 reports Seattle-based Chris Guirguis and his brother Alex created “Off the Record” after receiving one too many speeding tickets themselves.

The app launched in September in Washington state and so far the company claims a 100 percent success rate on removing moving violations. The app advertises an estimated savings of $540 over three years, that is, if you are a bad driver.
