Anyone should always pay their seat belt tickets. If you do not, you will be given a summons to appear in court. If you do not show up to court, a warrant will be issued. If this happens, the best thing to do is pay your ticket and turn yourself in so it does not get worse.
Your court date is generally listed on your ticket. You must pay the ticket before this date or show up for court.
In most cases, if you pay a traffic ticket late, you will be have to pay an additional penalty. If the ticket is really late, you may have to go to court. Most times, you either pay the ticket or go to the court date that is stated on the traffic ticket.
the back of the ticket will tell you where you must respond and by what date...call the court clerk of the court shown on the ticket
if you have missed your court date and are caught driving on a suspended license they will arrest you. My fiancee had a suspended license and was paid up on his insurance and tags and everything but missed his court date and went to jail.
Call the number listed on the ticket and ask clerk for verification of court date. A warrant could be issued for your arrest if you fail to appear on court date.
Some states require a person to come to court for an expired license plate even if they pay the ticket in advance. If a person can not pay the ticket until after the court date, it is best to go to court to speak to a judge about the situation. If a person does not go to court, a judge can issue a bench warrant for their arrest. In the state if Ohio, contact the court to ask direct questions so that accurate information is relayed.
You will get a ticket and run the risk of losing your license if you cannot provide proof of insurance on your court date.
It is usually up to you to read the ticket and appear by the date on it, or pay the fine. If you are waiting for a letter it will probably be a notice of a bench warrant for missing the court date.
You dispute a ticket by notifying the court that you want a trial. The procedures vary from court to court. In some states you are entitled to a jury trial and can notify the court by mail or fax. In others you or your attorney have to appear on the court date on your ticket. In some states you have to mail in the ticket to the court indicating a not guilty plea within a certain time limit. The court will then notify you of your court date. The only way to be certain is to contact the clerk of court.
You can request a dismissal of a seat belt ticket because obviously the person on the ticket isn't you if it doesn't match your birth date. However, the judge will decide if it is thrown out or not. Cases are often thrown out for mistakes on the officers part.
Both of the tickets will appear. However, if you just pay the fine without going to court, the tickets will be treated separately and will not affect each other.
