Raleigh, NC asked in Traffic Tickets for New Jersey

Q: Hi. I got pulled over while driving a rental car in NJ for using my cellphone. I missed the court date...

Now have a warrant out for my arrest and a $300 bail. I’m a resident of NC. Can I pay bail and avoid traveling to NJ for the new court date?

A: You will probably have to come to NJ a few courts will allow this to be done without your appearance with a lawyer but that is the exception not the rule and even less with this ticket.
