Code: 9-21-5-2(a)/IFC: Speeding)
Location: Knox county, IN
Going 86 in 60mph

Meet all rewuiremts for diversion program
A: If you just pay the ticket you will get points on your record when the IN BMV reports it to the IL Secretary of State. The Pre Trial Diversion letter is a prosecutor deferral program. If you qualify for the program as listed in the letter and sign the infraction deferral and pay the fee, your case will be deferred for the time frame listed in the letter, usually 6 months or 1 year. If you do not get another traffic violation within that time frame the current ticket will be dismissed. If you do get another violation then this current ticket will be resumed and you will have to address 2 pending tickets.
