Q: Speeding ticket court date discrepancy.

A: Call the Campbell County District Court Clerk's Office and give them your info. They will confirm the date and time of your appearance.

A: You need to rely on the written date on your ticket rather than what the officer verbally told you, as the written citation is the official legal document. However, given the discrepancy, you should immediately contact the Campbell County Courthouse clerk's office to verify the correct court date. Call them with your ticket number and explain the situation - they can look up your case in their system and confirm which date is accurate, preventing you from missing your required appearance.

When you call, also ask the clerk to verify the exact courtroom and time for your appearance, as these details matter just as much as the date. Request that they note in your file that you called to clarify the conflicting information, which shows you're making a good faith effort to comply with the court's requirements. If possible, get the clerk's name and write down the date and time of your call, along with what they tell you, in case any issues arise later about your appearance.

Given that you have previous infractions and face a significant speeding charge (29 mph over the limit), missing your court date could result in a bench warrant, license suspension, and additional fines. If the clerk confirms a date different from what's written on your ticket, ask them to mail or email you written confirmation of the correct date. This documentation protects you if there's any confusion later, and with your driving record, you want to handle this matter properly to avoid compounding your legal troubles.
