Civil Traffic Violations

You have just received a complaint for a traffic offense and are probably asking yourself "What do I do now?" If the charges are DUI., drag racing, reckless driving, or driving on a suspended license, you must appear in Court on the Appearance Date and time listed on your complaint to appear before the Judge.

FOR ALL OTHER OFFENSES, you may:

1. Pay the fine by mail before your appearance date. Click on PAYING THE FINE BY MAIL for a printable form for mailing.   (You are pleading responsible or no contest to the charge on the complaint, and the case will be closed).
    
2. Pay the fine by appearing at the traffic window at the Court between 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on or before your APPEARANCE DATE listed on the complaint.
    
3. Request a hearing by mail. Follow the instructions for SETTING A HEARING DATE BY MAIL. (You are pleading not responsible to the charge on the complaint). YOU MAY ALSO REQUEST A HEARING BY APPEARING at the traffic window of the Court between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., on or before your APPEARANCE DATE listed on the complaint.
    
4. Attend Defensive Driving School, if you are eligible.  For more information, read INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ATTENDING DEFENSIVE DRIVING SCHOOL.

FAILURE TO RESPOND by the APPEARANCE DATE on a CIVIL Traffic complaint will result in a default judgment being entered against you. A civil fine amount plus a $50.00 default fee will be imposed per charge.  The Court will schedule a court date to appear if payment arrangements need to be made.  Failure to appear in court and/or pay the fine will result in the notification to the Motor Vehicle Department and your license may be suspended and/or sent to a collection agency.

FAILURE TO RESPOND by the APPEARANCE DATE on a CRIMINAL Traffic complaint will result in a warrant for your arrest being issued and your license being suspended.
