Q: I have 3 speeding tickets for them I didn't go to court. My licence is suspended that this time. I don't have the money
Can I do jail time to clear this. And how long would I do.
A:
if you have not done traffic school that would be a good idea for one tix IF the judge would allow it.
without knowing your whole record and what courthouse and judge you are in front of it is hard to guess a sentence.
if jail is the sentence maybe you can do home arrest with an ankle bracelet or community service.
if you go any of these tix while license suspended then you probably have a misdemeanor 14601 VC driving on a suspended for which jail is certainly a possibility.
A:
Typically on traffic infractions jail is not an option or rarely exercised and requested. If jail was an option, I would suspect it would be minimal. In the alternative, community service is available if you qualify.
In addition, you should be aware that you may only attend traffic school once every 18 months from the date of violation. That being stated, if you have 3 speeding tickets, you may only potentially qualify for traffic school on one ticket. Excessive points may result in license suspension.
I'd suggest contacting an attorney to see what options may be available to you.
