Q: If I got pulled over for a speeding ticket. And I’m 18 will my mom find out?
A:
No one from the court system will intentionally contact her, if that's what you mean.
If you pay the ticket (by going to the courthouse and paying in person), that's the end of the court case. It will appear on your driver's record though, so if you are on her insurance she might find out through them. If you pay by internet or mail, they might mail you some kind of receipt.
If you contest (or mitigate) the ticket, then they will send you notice in the mail of a court date. So if she sees your mail, there's that.
She's your mom. You should probably tell her.
