If you get your license, they will probably amend the charge without you even having to fight it.

If you get everything corrected, you’ll probably just be looking at a $50 fine and court costs or similar.
I was driving my friend's car through Kentucky last year and got pulled over for speeding. She didn't have her vehicle registration. I was not given a fine, but told I'd have to watch an online training and provide proof of registration. By the time I went to do so, my friend... View More

You can hire a lawyer and have them present proof to the Court that the vehicle was registered in someone else's name. You should be able to get some sort of record from Ohio Department of Transportation.

She can ask for court appointed counsel at her first appearance or arraignment. Then her lawyer can ask for the discovery (evidence) after being appointed.

I reached an intersection slightly before a bus moving opposite of me. I proceed slowly and as I’m driving the bus driver extends the bus arm and puts out the stop sign. I continue because otherwise I will be in the middle of an intersection. He puts his arms up at me and now I’m scared I’ll... View More

Highly unlikely that you will receive a ticket after the fact if you weren’t given one at the time. Violation has to be committed in the presence of an officer unless a criminal complaint is signed by a judge, which is highly unlikely.
They said they were so far behind it was taking this long. They just now sent me a letter. Should I go to court. Not sure what to do?
answered on Aug 6, 2022
Yes. You should hire a lawyer to handle it for you. Unless it is dismissed, it will remain active until resolved no matter when it was received.
I was pulled over by a state trooper in Daviess County going 28 miles over the speed limit (83 in a 55, lead foot, I know it was a bad move now). He charged me with driving 25+ above the speed limit and he also charged me with careless driving. It’s not prepayable and I have to appear in court. I... View More

You need to hire an attorney immediately. Speeding 26 Over or greater is a suspension level ticket and your license can be suspended. Hire a lawyer and see if you can't get the charge amended so you can participate in diversion or traffic school and keep your driver's license.

My license? The court date is the day after I'm scheduled to go get my license back.
answered on Jul 21, 2022
Assuming you can get your license back in Kentucky before going to court this question concerns strategy and you should discuss with a lawyer. If you get your license back you will spend money on a reinstatement fee. That money could be wasted if your license is suspended again. Driving on a DUI... View More
But they told me I still have to attend. Are court costs required to be paid in full tomorrow. And what can I expect to happen at court (kentucky)

No. They won’t have to be paid. If you had valid insurance and registration corrected, you may be able to get the cases dismissed without any court costs.
