Getting a ticket

November 20th, 2009

No one likes getting a ticket.  When we first get one, we are consumed with different types of emotions.  Those ranging from pissed off to no way this isn’t right.  Regardless of the reason or circumstances the first thing that you need to do is look at the ticket.

Read your “Notice to Appear”.  There you will find:

  • The name of the court that will decide your case;
  • The deadline to pay the ticket or go to court; and
  • What you must do to respond to the ticket.

The Court’s address is on your “Notice to Appear”.  If it’s not on your ticket, you can find the address for your local court on the Web.

For a “Notice to Appear” ticket, call the court listed on the ticket or look for the Traffic Department in the Government Pages of your phone book.  Or get their phone number from the court’s website.

If you got a ticket for an infraction like running a stop sign, you can probably do everything you need by mail.
