No you couldn't unless you just had to pay money and not go to jail, could you help me on this question? How many cities and towns are there in Texas?
Traffic School is the best way to get a ticket erased.....
Traffic school or not you will still have to pay for the ticket. The reason people want to do traffic school it removes the ticket from the driving record. The cost of tickets vary depending on where you live and if it was a city or state officer that gave you the ticket. On the back of the ticket is usually instructions on what to do, so follow those instructions. Reasonably you should expect to pay a couple of hundred after the cost of the ticket and traffic school. If your state allows it you may be able to do traffic school on line from a list of schools they have approved.
You could request it. Providing you hadn't been to Traffic School for that same offense previously, the judge may allow it.
Maybe to get the ticket off. I had a ticket several years ago and the state had a window that I had to meet to get the ticket off my record. Traffic school could help bring the insurance down a bit, maybe.
You will probably be found guilty "in absentia." It can also depend on what the ticket was for. If you failed to appear in response to a subpoena for a serious offense (e.g.: DUI - etc) you could be served with a bench warrant.
A traffic violation that is not on the books and the Traffic Enforcer witnessed something the violator did that was/could have been a very dangerous traffic move, therefore a traffic ticket is issued.
you would have to retain counsel and he can file a motion to withdraw your guilty plea, no promises it will be granted depends on the judge. You could attempt it yourself your chances on it being granted in my opn are slim. JUDE KAGABINES LEXINGTON SC
Traffic School??In most states traffic school is offered as an option and most of the time if you go through with it the court agrees to take the ticket off your record upon completion. As far as the violation goes, it is a moving violation and it will count as a point, just like a speeding ticket. Such a violation could also raise your insurance rates as well not to mention go on your driving record for at least 3 years. If this is your first ticket in the last 3 years and have no other previous violations or accidents, I wouldn't recommend traffic school personally, but that's just me. If you're real particular about your driving record or just don't want a ticket period, go to traffic school.
Infraction traffic ticketsIf the police stop you for driving too fast or running a red light, they can charge you with an infraction and give you a "Notice to Appear" ticket. If you don't have proof of your car insurance, you'll be charged with an infraction for driving without proof of insurance.What to Do When You Get a Traffic Ticket Infraction traffic ticketsIf you have proper ID and promise to come to court by signing a "Notice to Appear" ticket, you probably won't have to go to jail. The police officer will ask you to sign the ticket. Signing doesn't mean you're guilty. It just means you promise to go to court or pay the fine. You could pay $370 or more for each infraction. If you get a photo/red-light or photo/railroad-grade crossing ticket, you'll get a notice in the mail about how to handle the ticket. If you don't want to go to court, ask the court if you can plead guilty and pay the fine by mail, pay to go to traffic school, or have a trial by mail (also called a "trial by written declaration"). If you plead guilty and pay the fine, you'll get points on your driving record and your car insurance may cost more. If you don't go to court or pay the fine, your license can be suspended and the court can charge you with a misdemeanor and issue a warrant for your arrest. http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/traffic/info.htm
As of August 16, 2011, I went to traffic court at the West LA Courthouse for a 'no right turn on red' ticket and paid $298. This includes the traffic school fee. Have not paid the online traffic school course yet but I know that is around another $20. Also paid $5 in parking at the West LA Courthouse. Going to traffic court was the worst experience of my life. In LA county it costs $159.+$40 in traffic school fees. And if you fight it and win they'll take $10 for "court fees"...
A traffic ticket could raise your insurance rates. It won't raise them right away, but may come into play when the insurance is being renewed.
There can be a few times when it is better to contest a traffic ticket instead of paying it. One of these instances could be when a person feels like an officer issued the ticket when they weren't supposed to. A person could feel this way if the ticket was issued because of being caught in a speed trap or when the officer was deliberately hidden.
