A: If the other party is not present in court, it may be possible to get the ticket(s) dismissed. If they do appear in court, it is still possible to avoid a conviction on her record through negotiation with the prosecutor. She would like be required to complete a traffic safety school course. An attorney can certainly help make the process easier and ensure the best possible result.

A: Other side doesn’t show up the the accident ticket will go away. If she is convicted of too many kids-something that will only require the cop to show up and he probably well -her GDL restrictions will be extended by six months and thus slow her down from moving up to the next level.
