What is the name of your state? Colorado


I recieved a speeding ticket a few months ago and decided rather than paying it to appear in court and see if I could get it reduced. The date on the Ticket was for Dec 23rd... I marked in my calendar carelessly that it was on the 26th and did not realize my error until the 26th when I looked at the actual ticket again. This was an honest mistake although I realize not a good excuse...

What should I do now? Is it possible to reschedule after missing a court date? Am I now going to face criminal charges for not showing?

Try to get this rescheduled as soon as possible.

Missing a court date is frowned upon and any excuse you give is one the judge has heard thousands of times before.

There may be a warrant for your arrest out now so you need to take care of this as soon as possible.
