last speeding question, i swear!?!?

[xmatty89]

What is the name of your state? California

I know i'v asked alot of questions but this is the last one. i got a speeding ticket, it does not have the courte date on the ticket, there supose to send one to me in the mail, is there any possibility they would send me a fine instead of having to go to courte?

 

[fairisfair]

yes, it is possible, have you tried calling them and asking if there is a fine standard to your citation, that you might just pay in lieu of going to court?

the name of the court and contact information should be on the ticket, if not, call the police department that issued the citation, they should be able to direct you.

ya the courte contact info is on the ticket... what should i say when i call the courte?

How about "I've got a ticket. Can I mail in the fee?"

How OLD are you?

I am guessing, about 18.

If the time and date are not in the ticket, and presuming this is California, I'd say that he was cited into Juvenile Court. In that case, the Juvenile Probation department will contact him with the time, date, and location of the hearing. This will take between two and four weeks - depending on jurisdiction.

I would recommend that if he hears nothing in three weeks that he contacts the Juvenile Probation office in the county where the cite was issued and ask about it.

You will have to appear in court or at the probation department WITH your parents. Even on the off chance you were permitted to pay it yourself without them, they will STILL find out when their insurance rates go through the roof.

they are going to find out. As a parent, I'm telling you that it woul dbe better to come from you. If one of my son's hid this from me, their freedom would be gone along with their access to ANY motor vehicle ... not to mention the shredding of the driver's license and a host of other punishments. But, then, I would have dropped the hammer two tickets earlier.

Just one more little thing.

It's court. Court. Court, court, court, court, court.

There's no "e" in, or at the end of, court.

C-O-U-R-T.

COURT COURT COURT!

Just wanted to clear that up. Good luck. Thanks.

Oh, and tell your parents.
