Q: I cant pay my ticket, cop gave me the paper with payment info, marked box. But cant pay it online?
80 in 70. Got ticket and another paper marking how much 6.00 every mile over. But I dont have the option to pay this. Should I go to courthouse in person?
A: You more than likely have been charged with Reckless Driving which is a class one misdemeanor that can end up with jail time of up to a year. 80 miles per hour is reckless driving not speeding. That is probably why there is no online payment option. You will need to appear in court. I would advise speaking to someone in your local area to help you figure out what the repercussions could be in your local court systems and whether hiring a lawyer to help is the right choice for you.
