Appearance in
Court
If you have received a traffic ticket and
you want to pay the ticket you may be able to pay the ticket
without appearing in person at court. This is called a Waiver.
Most tickets can be waived. However there are some tickets that
cannot be waived. You must appear in court for the following
tickets:
1. If
this is at least your 3rd ticket in a one year period.

you are charged with an offense that has a possible penalty of
jail.

you are charged with an offense that has a
possible suspension
of your driving privileges you cannot pay a waiver unless the
following applies: You are charged with Possession of Marijuana,
a minor misdemeanor and you consent to a 180 day license
suspension by filing with the court
Form 1-07
called
Acknowledgment of Drug Suspension. You can Petition the Court
for driving privileges under the suspension by filing
