In Kentucky, if you were stopped for a seatbelt violation that you believe was unjustified, you can contest the ticket in court. During the hearing, you can explain the circumstances, such as adjusting your seatbelt at a red light, and present any evidence you have to support your case. It's... View More
I once was told that a friend was offered a deal if he was to plead guilty. He would receive no points in his record after he completed his assigned course. But three-days later, was called in for a hearing and was handed out a 90 days suspension on top of that.

What you describe is two fold. Part of the penalties (criminal) are administered and enforced by the Court. Other half of penalties (admin) are administered and enforced by Drivers Licensing. They are separate and distinct but the don’t give you this information when you are going through it.

There should be an exception but there is not. However, you may be able to explain what happened and get the case diverted and ultimately dismissed.

Yes, but you might want to go to court instead since it is your first ticket. It might get diverted or dismissed.
Should I hire a lawyer? I assume I’ll likely have slightly leniency no matter what but would it be smart to get a lawyer just in case?
answered on Oct 29, 2024
Yes. A lawyer can protect you from the things you don’t know.
I was caught going 89mph on a 70 and I was paced doing 100

Hire a lawyer to handle for you and possibly it can be diverted or dismissed since it is your first offense.

You file the motion asking for all of the evidence against you as well as all exculpatory evidence. You file the original in the court file and send a copy to the prosecutor.
When I moved out of my old house after divorcing from my husband, he held a lot of my mail from me just out of spite and I genuinely knew nothing about having a court appearance until a few days ago. Can a lawyer show up for me to lift a bench warrant or will I have to go to court myself?
answered on Sep 11, 2024
The lawyer can have it recalled and you don’t have to appear if it is a misdemeanor. If it is a felony, you too will have to appear.

Most likely not. Drivers and ID licensing are separate divisions of the clerk’s office.

Most likely can be resolved for traffic school but you will have to appear ( or hire a lawyer) as it is not repayable.
