Paying Ticket Fine
If you just plan on paying the fine and perhaps attending traffic school to wipe points on your record, there’s no need to go to court. You can take care of your ticket by mail or online; all the contact information should be printed on your ticket. If it’s not, call the traffic court in the issuing county.
You don’t have to go to court unless you plan to contest the ticket, or got a misdemeanor violation.
Traffic School
Some traffic tickets can be resolved by attending traffic school.
You may then have the option of attending traffic school to erase the points on your license. Many are even offered online.
You will be charged a traffic school fee, which is usually the same amount as the fine would be. Then, submit your completion certificate to the court. If you’re usually ticket-free, the points shouldn’t even show up on your record.
If you had a more serious infraction (a two-point infraction), you won’t be able to take traffic school to dismiss the charges.
