Questions about charges and tickets
Should I just pay the ticket?
Paying is pleading guilty. For some tickets that's fine. For a commercial driver, or someone with points already, it may not be.
Can I clear my record?
Many old charges and some convictions can be cleared after a waiting period. Bring what you have and we'll check.
What should I say to the police?
Be polite, give your name, and say you want to talk to a lawyer before answering questions.
Call before your court date
Bring the citation or the court papers. If you can, call before your first appearance.
