Q: My daughter recieved a speeding ticket, 39in a 30 on Sept 27, 2019, finally recieved a notice to pay today.
Since its From 4 months ago does she still have to pay, on the ticket shows it shows it must be paid in 30 days, but it wasnt even filed until Jan 13.
A: Yes she has to pay it. The fact that there was a delay in issuing the ticket is not a defense.
A:
She will have to resolve the ticket one way or another. Simply ignoring it for several months doesn’t make it go away.
A lawyer may be able to assist her in resolving the ticket without it ending up on her record.
A: She can work to prevent it from going on her record. That would be a good idea, in my view; rather than just paying the ticket. Instead, go to court to require a "keep it off my record" outcome; but be willing to pay for that. The record is more valuable than a fine. For more, see my website.
