Fines and Traffic Court
Moving violations such as speeding (under 20 miles over speed limit), running a red light, or improper passing are generally* handled as follows:
1st offense - pay fine
2nd offense - juvenile must appear in Court
Guilty plea - pay fine
Not guilty plea - return to Court at later date for Trial
3rd offense - one year suspension of drivers license
Non-moving violations such as expired tags, loud muffler, failure to use seat belt, or jaywalking are usually penalized with a fine.
* These are general guidelines, and may not pertain to every situation. Offenses such as DWI or driving without an operator's license will necessitate a court appearance. You can call the Juvenile Traffic section (number listed above) if you are uncertain about whether you will need to appear in court for your infraction.
