5. What if I have an equipment violation?

If you have been issued a summons for certain equipment violations, you are eligible to pay half of the original fine if you correct the problem and bring the vehicle to the Municipal Court before your scheduled court date. Your equipment violation must fall within one of the three categories: (1) broken or defective lighting equipment, (2) expired license tags, or (3) broken mirrors or broken winshields. A Police Officer will certify that the violation has been corrected and upon approval you will be eligible to pay half of your original fine, which must be paid at the time of vehicle inspection.

6. What if I was cited for driving without insurance?

If you had valid insurance for the vehicle you were driving on the date cited and simply didn't have proof at the time of the stop, you can bring such proof to the Court any time before your court date and have the violation dismissed. The insurance coverage will be verified with the State. If you did not have insurance coverage at the time of your citation, you need to obtain coverage for your vehicle and provide proof to the Court at the time of your scheduled Court hearing.
