    Q: How much time do I have to respond to a traffic ticket I received from a police officer?


    A: If you received a copy of a traffic infraction (a ticket) from a police officer, it is a non-criminal offense for which jail cannot be imposed. You must respond to the infraction within fifteen (15) days from the date it is issued to you. Your mailed response must be mailed no later than midnight on the day the response is due, or you can submit it in person by the due date. You must check one of the boxes on your copy of the ticket and return it to the courthouse location listed on the front of the ticket.


    Q: What will happen if I do not respond to the ticket or I do not appear for my requested court hearing?


    A: The court will find that you failed to respond or appear (FTA) and the infraction is deemed committed.


    You must pay the fine that appears on the ticket and a $52 default penalty.If you fail to pay these penalties they will be sent to a collection agency.The Department of Licensing (DOL) will be advised of the FTA and may suspend your driving privilege.


    Q: How do I complete the response to the traffic ticket?


    A: The back of the ticket lists the options you have for responding to the ticket: (1) payment, (2) request a mitigation hearing, or (3) request a contested hearing. You should put an “x” in the box indicating your response, sign your name, and provide your current mailing address. Your response should be sent to the courthouse location listed on the front of the ticket.
