Q: Will I need the money for a traffic ticket (speeding) when I go to court, or can I pay it afterwards?
A: If you show up to Court and the Court finds you guilty - the Court will give you a certain amount of time to pay your fines and fees. If you can not pay off what you owe - just come back on your return and ask the Court for more time to pay.

A: You can pay afterwards, I have never seen a Judge make a person pay right there. Be aware that with a fine there are also court costs totalling a few hundred dollars

A: You will typically be given time to pay. I have only seen payment due on the court date when the charge is amended.
A: The Judge will almost always allow time for payment of any fines or court costs. Be sure to request time from the Judge when you appear in front of him or her.
