What happens if you pay Speeding Tickets late in florida?

I got a speeding ticket last month, just remembered I had to pay it...its 3 days late but today I recieved a notice in the mail for court?? This is my first speeding ticket is that normal for you to have to appear in court for a speeding ticket? Cant I just pay the ticket and be done?

Each ticket issued has a due date on it. When you failed to pay the ticket by the due date a computer automatically generates a notice for you to appear in court. It is normal for this to occur (if there were no consequences then why would people ever pay). Contact the number on the ticket. If there is no number on the ticket look for the name of the County or Courthouse and give them a call. Usually you can handle the payment and notice over the phone. Generally once a notice is issued it's best to insure it is handled.

Hope this helps.

Your best bet is to contact the courts and ask them these questions. They are the ones who will process your ticket and will know all the laws and regulation. You should also ask the courts if you are allowed to take a driving school class. This will prevent your insurance from going up and points from being placed on your license. Just make sure you get the courts permission before doing so. If you don’t the courts will reject your driving school certificate. Good luck!

If you fail to pay the ticket before its due they will set a court date and charge you for failure to pay the ticket. Keep the receipt you got and show it to the judge. Most likely he'll drop the case.

You'll be okay. Take your receipt, be apologetic, don't make up some weird story for the judge. 1st offense he'll probably tell you not to do it again, or make you go to driver school at the worst. I've had suspensions with 2 or 3 tickets involved and paid them, and aplogized and got a lecture from the judge...and mom & dad. ^_^
