A friend just emailed me saying he realized he is 1 day past the date his ticket was due. He wanted to know what to do. I told him to call the court immediately and ask what he needs to do. I've never let a ticket go past the due date so I'm not much help here.

Anyone have any input other than "he is screwed"?

Speeding. He already phoned in for an extension previously.

Well, I was in the same predicament a couple years ago. All he needs to do is call in and set up a court time. When a case goes to a failure to appear the fine almost doubles. In my case the judge lowered the fine to it's original amount, but since I failed to appear he was not lienate enough to let me go to traffic school and I went into court the next day. So just tell him to call in a get a court time, A.S.A.P.

Let me know how it goes? Where was the ticket?

damn, it seems like a lot of peeps get pulled over on the 91. It's like a hot spot or something... that's where i got my first ticket in my rsx. I flew by the CHP on the motorcycle (cruising behind a big rig so didnt notice him until it was too late) 100mph. He couldnt clock me, just knew i was going real faster than he was... so he wrote me down for 80mph. Lucky me... now that i got my evo i cruise at 65mph to save gas! haha. Damn, it sucks to forget about a ticket... just have him call asap and he should be fine. I was a day overdue, told the lady i FORGOT over the phone, and they ended up taking the payment out that same day. He should be fine though...

if it was an appearance to a court hearing, he might get a "failure to appear"

he should settle this ASAP!

So in wrapup, he called in and they gave him 10 days to send in payment for traffic school. So much for his TBD.
