A: No you don't have to go but if you do not you will have a conviction, meaning that for the next two years, you cannot be convicted again or your license will be suspended.

A: Contact the Clerk's Office at the courthouse where your ticket is assigned to confirm. If you want to keep the ticket off of your record you will need to appear in court with a parent.

A: First, tell your parents about this ticket. Do not try and hide this ticket from them because it could cause issues with their car insurance. Second, contact the Circuit Court Clerk's Office in the Court House where you may have to appear to find out if you have to appear in court. Third, have your parents contact an attorney to discuss it further. Finally, listen to what your parents have to say regarding this matter after they have consulted with an attorney.
