FAQs
Will a traffic infraction appear on my driving record?
Only if you pay the penalty, mitigate, or if the Judge finds you have committed a traffic infraction at a contested hearing. Parking tickets and photo enforcement tickets do not appear on your driving record.
What happens if I fail to respond within 15 days or fail to attend my hearing?
The infraction will be deemed committed and you will owe the fine amount plus a $52 administrative fee. You must come to court in-person and request a show cause hearing if you want to reverse the consequences of your failure to respond or your failure to appear.
If you were cited for a moving or non-moving driving offense, then failure to respond and pay the amount owed to the court can result in the suspension of your driver's license. Driving with a suspended license is a crime.
If you were cited for a parking offense, then failure to respond and pay the amount owed to the court can result in your vehicle tabs not being renewed until the fines are paid.
