FAQsIf a plea of guilty is entered by mail, does the fine need to be paid at the same time?
In general, when a driver mails the court their guilty plea, the court will send back a letter with the fine amount with a date certain to pay the fine. If the driver does not get a response in 5 business days, the driver should call the court to follow up on the status of their ticket.
Do I have to testify at a traffic trial?
In local criminal court, you are innocent until proven guilty. You are not required to testify at your trial.
How will a speeding conviction affect my insurance?
There are many different factors insurance companies take into consideration when they determine a driver’s insurance rate. For the most part, the algorithm used is proprietary in nature and the average driver will not be privy to this information.
Other factors may include but are not limited to the drivers age, accident history, the car driven, and any other convictions to moving violations.
