Asked in Traffic Tickets for Kentucky

Q: I was pulled over and got a traffic citation with a court date it’s been 3 weeks since and I haven’t received any mail

I know someone that was pulled over 3 days after I was and they received something in the mail about their court date about a week ago but I haven’t. Do I need to show? What happens if I don’t show?

A: Call the County Court where you were stopped and see if there is a charge against you. If near a City then also call that City Court. Your Citation should tell you what Court your are charged in and what the Docket # is. If you miss Court then your license will be suspended or you will be charged with FTA. It is yours or your KY lawyer's responsibility to find out when Court is. Check with that Clerk today.

A: Yes. You need to show it have an attorney appear for you. If no one shows, they will send a notice of suspension of your license to the DOT and possibly issue a. Ranch warrant.
