Q: can I attend court by myself without a legal guardian since I'm under age? When do I pay the fine they decide to give me
I was driving in the carpool lane by myself and was pulled over for a carpool violation. The officer said they'll tell me in court (since I have a court date in two months) what my fine/consequence will be, do they expect me to pay the fine right then and there or will
I have time to gather the money they ask of me? Also, I've never had a ticket before so what exactly are they going to ask or do to me In court?
A: If under 18, you must have a parent with you. However, for infraction traffic court, if you hire an attorney, you probably will not have to go to court.
