Call the clerk of the court and explain the situation. You may have an additional fine or charge for failure to appear or for contempt of court, but most judges don't want you arrested for a speeding ticket anymore than you want to be arrested. Almost all courts are well familiar with this kind of problem and will have a mechanism in place to help you through it.

Can you get a warrant for your arrest if you have unpaid tickets?

Yes you can! Any unpaid tickets can cause you a lot of problems. The courts will see that your not paying them or making any attempt to take care of them, and then a warrant for your arrest will be issued.!


What can be done for ticket received 10 years ago and paid or dimissed but have bench warrant for arrest today?

Wow, ten years! You would have to show proof that it was paid or dismissed. If warrant was issued then courts have no proof of this. Need to contact lawyer and show the proof.


If you lost your speeding ticket and the bill how would you fix it?

Go or call to the court or the police department that issued the citation. Don't wait for a bench warrant, since that will cause you a LOT of problems later. Do research on how to fix your traffic ticket. There are free resources out there. I recently read a post on trickedmytruck site that was very informative. And the only way to get a copy of your lost ticket is to go to the county clerk of courts, most places want to see an ID.


What is the best way to get the a speeding ticket off your record in Ohio?

If your ticket is within 12 months, you will have to file with the Court, a Motion to Reopen the case. Some courts in Ohio will reopen cases, but you could end up with the same conclusion. If you paid the ticket for a 68/55 mph speeding ticket and the case reopened, depending on the Court, you could get a lesser charge or the same. The best course of action would be to obtain an attorney; ask a professional.


Is there a statute of limitations on bench warrants for traffic violations in Georgia?

Your best bet is to consult with an attorney about this. Each state, and even each city, may have different laws and policies that cover this situation. You can try to contact the Court which issued the bench warrant. They may be willing to tell you if the bench warrant is still valid or when it might expire. (Some courts will not tell you anything that might remotely be considered legal advice, so don't be upset if they won't tell you.)
