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.

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.

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.

Q: I have court coming up and this is my 3rd time there for speeding. Will I do jail time??

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.

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.

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.
