My son moved and did not get his mail. He went to get his abstract, and next to some tickets it says summons not answered? What does this mean?
Traffic summons is a petition sent to an individual to appear in front of a judge at the local court to respond to traffic violations which may include driving without a license or suspended license, and speeding tickets.
The ticket will only get dropped if you have proof that you HAD insurance at the time of the ticket had been issued. You may get the ticket fine lowered with proof that you now have the required insurance.
If a ticket is thrown out in court your insurance will not go up. The ticket will not appear on your driving record wich is used to help set your rate. Insurance companys go by whats on your record and their is no record of an officer giveing you a ticket only the conviction.
== == * A "summons to appear" is a letter to inform you are being sued, and to appear in court. It is commonly filed with the complaint letting you know what you are being sued for. Whoever receives the summons needs to file their answers with the court stating if they agree to, or deny, the allegations, as well as appear at the place and time as stated on the summons. By definition a traffic ticket is an example of a common form of summons. Beside testifying in a criminal case, summons are issued in any court proceeding that requires testimony or deposition of the named party.
