Ask the judge for "Deffered Judification" ... \n\nThis basically means you 'promise' not to get in any trouble for 90 days, tickets, arrests ect... and if you fulfill that promise the ticket goes away.\n\nIf you get another ticket, they charge you full ticket price on either one.\n\nYour other option is defencive driving which will get most states to dismiss the ticket.\n\nIf you go the DD route, I reccomend taking the CLASS not the internet one... the internet one usually takes longer believe it or not.

Depends on how much the ticket is.  Seems like you have a good case, weather or not you can tell your side to the judge. Sometimes, you talk to a person before the court and they make recommendations.  If you want to fight, write your facts down before hand and go for it. Otherwise, if it's not too much $$, write it and the experience off. Sorry, to hear your situation, doesn't sound fair from your side.  Best of luck

If you read the back of the ticket you will see that you had 15 days in which to pay voluntarily which was even a reduced fine. Now it's too late, you must attend or you won't have an opportunity to fight it. If you don't want to fight it the court will make a ruling that you have to pay and if you don't you won't be allowed to renew your drivers license. My pet peeve is when people ask these questions they don't say what country or state they are in so you may not be getting a correct answer from ANYONE on this. Please just go to court-play it safe! And since you will be there anyway-just contest it-believe me-it's FUN and you have more than an 80 percent chance of winning as the cops rarely show up due to rotation on their shift or they are usually too busy or needed elsewhere. If the cop doesn't show but you do -you're walking out of there with all your money.

When you go to court. Contest the charges. That will require another court date be set. Then, on the following date call either early if its a late session or late the day before if it's early session and request your ONE AND ONLY reschedule try to get it on the same day of the week as you got the ticket at the latest session available. What this does, if forces the officer to obtain rescheduled time and date take time off and make the court appearance to make you pay the fine. If the officer doesn't make the appearance you will not be fined and charge will be dropped. If the officer manages to make it then yes your friend can make a statement on your behalf. Make sure to make mention that you are innocent til proved guilty and therefore the burden of proof is on the officer. Do it in a polite non-chalant way tho or you will be found offensive by the court.

David-\n\nYou don't go into the problems with your car, but I am assuming they are mechanical since you don't describe any moving violations.  \n\nTypically, mechanical violations, including failing to change your address with DMV, will be "correctable".  Check your citations...most will say "Correctable Yes/No" next to the violation code.  If they are, simply correct the violations, have an officer from your local police department "sign the ticket off" and you won't have to pay a fine in court.  \n\nNow, there may be court fees to remove the citation out of the system, but you're looking at around $10 per ticket (depending on where you are).  This beats the fines!!!\n\nIf you have citations with moving violations, such as running a red light, unsafe lane change, speeding, etc., those are not correctable and you will have to go to court and pay a fine.\n\nIf you do have correctable violations and you don't correct them, you will be stuck paying fines on all those violations.  Get them signed off fast!\n\nMy advice:  Correct ALL your violations that can be corrected, go to court, tell/show the judge you have correct all the issues and respectfully ask for leniency based on your situation.  DO NOT ignore the citations or ultimately, a warrant for your arrest can be issued and the fines will double, triple, etc.\n\nHopefully this helps you, and GOOD LUCK!

the most easy thing to do will to go in to the police station that gave you the ticket they will have a copy and if they dont than you do not have to pay it because then it dose not exist. or if it is something little you can see if they will just let you off cops do listen to reason

Visit the clerk of court in person they can tell you. If you still aren't sure then call the govermental building in your area or the police department that wrote your ticket or citation. Usually the police have to show up for the court cases they write tickets for (depending on what the infraction is) and they will be able to tell you.

Larry,\nYou can verify whether or not you have a ticket by calling the Avery County Sheriff's department. If need be, you can contact the Bar Association for an attorney that practices there.

To be honest you are in trouble.  The judge will side with the cop everytime, especially with the radar gun.  Here is your best strategy......Call the cop that gave you the ticket and ask him to cut a deal with you....or wait for him in the lobby of the courthouse and plead /beg cry do whatever make up a story  ?maybe he'll give you a plea bargain.   I did this a few times,   2 of the 3 times it worked.  They charged me with a lower speed on etime instead of 75 in a 55  65 in 55,  the other time they took it from 70 in 55 to careless driving instead.  thats your only chance bud is a plea bargain.\n\n"an outside chane is this" on your ticket it says when the last date that radar device was checked for accuracy it must be checked every 30days...maybe the cop forgot that month

If that option is available, it should be printed on your ticket. There should at least be a phone number you could call and inquire.

No.  It will not be dismissed.  You go to court on Tuesday morning and get it sorted out.  If you don't, the court could suspend your driver's license for failure to appear.  When you are in court, you can ask the judge to dismiss the ticket.

Go to court on your court date.  You are not necessarily fighting the charges - especially if you are guilty.  Be prepared with a copy of you motor vehicle report.  Plead guilty, apologize and respectfully ask the judge for traffic school or something so it won't go on your insurance. Every time I have gone to court the judge has reduced my ticket so it didn't get on my insurance.    The fine will probably be the same as if you just paid the fine but at least it won't go on your insurance.  You will then have to pay the fine plus pay for traffic school but still it is worth it if it doesn't increase your insurance for the next 7 years.

You were not given a ticket for speeding, it was a ticket for driving too closely. Were you or weren't you? If you want your day in 'traffic court', then go for it. You don't have much to lose other than a couple of hours. However, do not get your hopes too high. You will probably be found guilty anyway.\n\nIn the future, be more careful around marked police cars.

You will be able to find more information on the back of your ticket, such as the address to write to, phone numbers to call, etc.\n\n(You didn't mention your home state, the state the ticket was issued in, what the offense was, or anything else really, so I can't help you further, sorry...)

Best thing to do is just dress nice (business casual), go to court by yourself, hold your hands in your lap and apologize for your mistake.  Ask the DA if there is anything you can do to fix the situation.  Usually they'll work with you, as long as you be sure to say "Yes, Sir/Ma'am" and "thank you".  Be polite and businesslike, and they usually either let it go or just charge you a small fine (and if you show up, the often make sure it doesn't even go on your license)\n\nGood luck!

Contact the folks at city hall.  They can either tell you if you do have an outstanding ticket or give you a good contact at the responsible agency.  Hope it helps.
