Infraction Information
You received an Infraction what do you do:
- You must respond to the ticket within 30 days from the date issued (date is at the bottom of ticket) or 33 days from the date the notice was mailed.
- You must mark your copy of the ticket of what you are requesting from the Court (located on the top right of your ticket):
There are 4 options:
- Pay: I have enclosed a check or money order, in U.S. funds, for the amount listed. I understand this will go on my driving record if “traffic” is checked. DO NOT SEND CASH. NSF checks will be treated as a failure to respond.
- Payment Plan/Inability to Pay: I admit responsibility for the infraction. I request the court provide me information about how to obtain a payment plan and how to submit evidence of my current inability to pay in full.
- Mitigation Hearing: I agree I have committed the infraction(s), but I want a hearing to explain the circumstances. Please send me a court date to appear. I know I may not subpoena witnesses to appear, but witnesses can attend voluntarily. I understand this will go on my driving record if the “traffic” is checked. The court may allow time payments or reduce the penalty where allowed by law.
- Contested Hearing: I want to contest (challenge) this infraction. I did not commit the infraction. Please send a court date to appear. The state must approve by a preponderance of the evidence that I committed the infraction. I know I can require (subpoena) witnesses, including the officer who wrote the ticket, to attend the hearing. The court will tell me how to request a witness’s appearance. I understand this will go on my driving record if I lose and “traffic” is checked.
