When the police charge you with a violation, they'll issue a ticket indicating the offence you committed as well as the date, time and location. The ticket will also indicate where and when you are to appear in court. Some tickets, including those for stunting, racing and driving at excessive speeds, will result in an immediate roadside suspension.

For some less serious offences, the ticket will indicate the amount of the fine you must pay. If you choose to plead guilty, you may pay your fine voluntarily through the mail.

You must appear in court to enter a not guilty plea. You'll then have a trial date set. You may want to consult a lawyer before entering a plea.
