FAILURE
TO ANSWER A SPEEDING TICKET
When
a driver fails to Answer or respond to a speeding ticket, fails to pay a fine
or fails to appear in court, the court will notify the Department of Motor
Vehicles (DMV) to suspend the driver’s privileges to drive. When a driver is
caught driving with a suspended license, the police can arrest and charge the
driver with a criminal misdemeanor.
PLEADING
GUILTY BY MAIL
A
plea of guilty to the charge is equivalent to a conviction after trial. A
conviction will not only subject the driver to a penalty but in addition the
driver’s license to drive can be subject to suspension and revocation as
prescribed by law.
