It depends on what is meant by the term "collect". Most states have an established method for insuring at least a portion of a speeding violation that is committed by an out of state driver is collected. The usual procedure is for the speeder to place a specific amount of money into an envelope and the envelope is dropped into a locked box, either located on the highway, access road, etc. or in the police cruiser. If the violator returns on his or her court date, the money is applied to the fines assessed or is returned if the person is found not guilty of the offense.

Where do I pay a speeding ticket in Oconee County?

I assume that this is a South Carolina speeding ticket in Oconee county. You can pay your ticket by mail. The address of the court is in the middle of the ticket. Usually it is a Summary county court or it could be a city court. You have to pay by money order, they will not accept a check for a South Carolina speeding ticket. If the fine is more than the minimum of 81.00 you may want to consider retaining a South Carolina traffic attorney to get the ticket reduced.


What happens if you live in Maryland and get a ticket in Virginia and you fail to pay the ticket do they put a warrant out for you?

I was told by a Pennsylvania State policeman (as he held my California drivers license and wrote my speeding ticket) that the states have agreements to enforce collection of each other tickets, so that if I didn't pay the PA ticket, CA would collect the money from me or, failing that, suspend my license and not renew it. I don't know if that is how it works, but that's what the man said. I got a speeding ticket in Virginia in 2005. Still have not paid it. I live in NY. My license was never suspended or anything.


Finding the Speeding Ticket Lawyer to Win my Case?

Many drivers do not realize that they are being seen or followed by a police officer when they hear the familiar siren behind their vehicle. They inevitably pull over and find out that they were speeding. A majority of the time drivers will receive a speeding ticket. Speeding tickets can range from under one hundred dollars to almost $500. The amount of the ticket often depends upon the jurisdiction that the ticket was written under as well as the speed that was captured when the driver was given the ticket. Many individuals who receive a speeding ticket know that they are guilty. However, they do not want to have to pay an increased insurance rate or the ticket fine. While some drivers may show up to court and be successful in fighting a ticket by themselves, some drivers need legal assistance. A speeding ticket lawyer can be helpful to individuals who are trying to fight their ticket in court. Often, speeding tickets can be disputed through a formal hearing or an informal hearing. A formal hearing involves a speeding ticket lawyer and the individual who received the ticket sitting down before a judge with the officer who wrote the ticket. This formal hearing typically happens four to six weeks after the ticket is written. Many times the officer will not appear in court and the ticket will be dismissed. Other times,. the lawyer will question the officer as to whether or not the radar gun was properly maintained. Radar gun maintenance is suggested by manufacturers but few police departments perform the procedure. Even fewer departments keep detailed records necessary to confirm maintenance in court. Some speeders are able to have their tickets cancelled or plead down to lower fines or more points. Speeding tickets lawyers may also argue a ticket down on their clients behalf. Check with a speeding ticket lawyer to see if this is a possibility with your ticket. Informal hearings often do not allow a speeding ticket lawyer to be present. However, check with your state to find out the details about the restrictions on legal council at informal hearings. The more you know, the better you will be able to defend yourself in court! Speeding ticket lawyers often can save your car insurance from increasing hundreds of dollars a year. Why not spend a fraction of that money maintaining your innocence with the help of a lawyer?

How much will it cost for a speeding ticket in the state of Virginia if you do not live in that state?

That depends on the exact violation and also on the court. The only way to know for sure is to contact the clerk of court. Virgina does report speeding tickets to your home state so you need to know how it will effect your license and insurance before you just pay your Virgina speeding ticket. Often a Virgina traffic attorney can get it reduced and save you money. See the link below for a full discussion on VA speeding tickets and where you can look up your ticket online.
