do you have to pay a traffic ticket from a different state?

Yes, unless you plan on never setting foot in that state again. Because if you do return to that state and your pulled over, when the Police officers runs your license, you will be going to jail on a warrant for non payment of this citation and or a failure to appear.

When I received my ticket in June, I called the Clerk of the Court in your county. They can tell you all that info plus the website so you can pay your ticket via the Internet...Hope this helps!

You'd probably be better of the pay the ticket.  If you go to court you may have to pay court costs as well as the fine.

It depends on what state you live in.  So they are going to send you a picture of your car running the red light, and the price for your ticket.  So send them a picture of the money you owe them.

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...)

Just keep telling yourself you're going to court over a TRAFFIC TICKET not rape, theft, burglary or worse...just a simple ticket. Kinda silly to get all worked up over that isn't it?? Everything will be fine...what's the worst that can happen?? You're gonna walk out alive and into the rest of your life owing a lil money and some points on your license..it's definitely not the end of the world. Good luck!!

You have to call or go to the court house within the city limits the ticket was issued. Tell them it is nine years old. They will have to some research but they will find it, and you can then get the ticket paid for and taken care of. I have done this before it is a pain in the ***

Yes. even if pulled over for another infraction, cops can take you in. Best bet - call the court and apologize for forgetting to handle your tickets, then beg for a court date to take care of it. If youve gotten your registration taken care of, they might dismiss this violation and lower your fine. You can also plead your case and tell them you cant affford $600...they will lower it or break it into payments for you...\n\nGood luck.

The court is going to uphold the ticket.  You're better off to just pay it (the correct amount which the court can give you) and not make any enemies because he WILL know if you fight it.

Why did you send your license with the payment?  Did they take it when you were cited in the first place?  If your license was suspended, you can't legally drive anywhere.  If it wasn't, you should still have it.  If you get pulled over anywhere without your license, you will receive another citation.  You should probably contact the BMV to find out where your license is and how to get it back.\n\nEdit: What state are you in.  There is no 'bond' for a speeding ticket in any state I've ever driven.  You can't pay a cash bond at the scene either.  It looks to much like a bribe.

No - not normally unless the defendant waives extradition and the other state pays for all of the costs of transportation (including pickup).  \n\nIf the defendant does not waive extradition, the court can decide whether or not they will extradite with the cost being borne by the jurisdiction issuing the warrant.

Depends on where you are when you are ticketed.

happens all the time, next time just pay the ticket, unless you want to contest it in court.

States do share ticket info.  I have an AL drivers licence.  When I renewed it, they made me pay an outstanding 3 year old illegal turn ticket to AZ before they renewed my licence.  Damn computers.

Obviously, if you plan to fight the ticket, you will have to appear in SC to the issuing court.  Otherwise, you can only pay the ticket. \n\nFirst of all, call the court which issued the ticket and ask if receiving a citation in their state will reflect on the driving record and point system of your state. If so, or if you already know they do, then you have only one choice to appear in court to fight the ticket. If they do not, then you can let it go since it will not reflect your record.\n\nIn some cases, the court can change a court appearance date but usually for a legitimate reason such as health issues.  Ask them when you call about the driving record. \n\nIf you appear in court, Arrive early and ask to speak with the officer who issued the citation. Explain to him your concerns about points and how a higher insurance premium will hurt you financially, since you are a college student. Many officer are sympathetic to this and will help you out. Then he can suggest a lesser charge such as "Impeding Traffic", which is a "NO POINT" violation. But ask him what can be done to avoid the points. REMEMBER: you will not avoid paying a fine. Your only concern is points and higher insurance premium. The courts want their money and they will receive it. Once you and the officer agree to a lesser charge, he/she will notify the magistrate/judge. Then when your turn arrives to appear before the judge, he/she will ask how you plead and you indicate a guilty charge on the deciding charge agreed with the officer. In many cases, the judge will already have that lesser charge in front of him or the officer will speak up first and offer it. Then the judge will ask if you agree. He may then impose the cost of the fine with no points added to your record. Pay the fine and learn a lesson.\n\nVERY IMPORTANT: This method has a better chance of working "IF" you already have a clean driving record. The courts are usualy happy to help people maintain a clean record. If your driving record is flawed, if may not work, but it still won't hurt to appear in court if you can.

usually not, its illegal. \n\nMany states however do not check they rely on you telling them you have a license from another state that is suspended.

I AM from Ohio and have never heard of such a thing. I know if you live out of state, sometimes they will keep your license until you pay the ticket, and then mail it back but if I were you...I'd call the number on your citation to find out exactly what you're supposed to pay. The tickets I've gotten in Ohio generally have the fine listed on the back.
