No. If you provided proof to the clerk, you do not have to attend.
It's in Kentucky what can he do on paying his late fee on his traffic ticket he has went to court than issued a fine after he got out of the hospital he found out the fine was late what can he do to take care of that fine paying late?

Simply go to the clerks office and pay the fine and costs or hire a lawyer to go in snd resolve it for you.
Aware of the wrong I was doing but she was legit sick I explained that to the officer and he even gave me the option to keep driving after that just wondering what I should expect in court

Sure. Just ask the judge for a trial date when you go to court.
I just got cited for speeding 10 mph over the speed limit and having no insurance at the time. What would be the outcome and would I need to hire an attorney?

Speeding is $20 fine plus court costs. No insurance first is up to a $500 fine plus court costs. You should hire a attorney to handle.

It depends what county you’re in. You need to hire an experienced defense attorney in that county. You may have an opportunity to knock it down and do a traffic safety program. You do not just want to walk in and plead to this ticket because you could lose your license.
I have a court date February 22.This is my first speeding ticket will I get my license taken away? Can I get the ticket shelved? Like what do I do?

As a 17 year old if you plead to offense with 6 points or more you could be subject to suspension. I would contact an Attorney to represent you.

I would hire an experienced attorney and your chances of getting a better outcome on the case will be improved. There are many factors including previous driving record etc. I don't think jail is likely but there can be license suspension and fines. Jail typically only comes into play if... Read more »

Call an attorney and have them get your case back on the docket. Depending on the county and your driving record you may be eligible for a local driver license program online or state traffic school. If you don't address missing court your license can be suspended.
First offense was a fine paid and I had showed proof of insurance to the officer the next day, it was only a couple days lapsed.

I would recommend hiring an attorney and attempting to get the charge amended down to a lower offense that will not suspend your license.
I wasn’t speeding the 2nd or 3rd time, and I don’t have a license because I’m waiting for my green card (very long process), I feel targeted. I pay all the fines, but I’m worried I will go to jail this time since it’s my 3rd court date for the exact same offense (speeding)

You cannot go to jail for just speeding. If you have any other charges it is possible. If you are driving on a suspended license you are certainly at risk. I would hire an experienced attorney to help you.
My license was suspended and I have never gotten them back. Can you advise?
answered on Dec 28, 2022
I would start by going to the Dept Of Transportation website and getting a driver record. If it looks clean and you should be able to go to the drivers license branch to get a new license. If it’s not clean you can call them and they should be able to tell you what is wrong.
Even though I didn’t get a ticket

If he did not get a ticket or a citation then you will not get any points on your license. It sounds like the police officer just let you go.

An officer cannot write a ticket simply because they are angry but if you have broken any law, including a traffic law they can charge you but they must cite the specific law and the facts and circumstances in a citation
