It's for the Milton court, if that makes any difference. So, once they realize that she isn't going to show up, what then? Does the court still have the opportunity to deliver it personally after the fact, or will it just get dropped once they realize their error?
Thanks again for all your responses!

She was asked by the officer to reply that she had received the email so she did. But basically everything that the last poster stated was what her paralegal told her.

A friend of mine caused a rear end accident a few months ago that wasn't reported right away, but at an accident reporting centre a couple days later.

The light was green and we were in the right lane (to turn right) with 2 other cars ahead of us. For whatever reason the car ahead of me braked all of a sudden (I'm not sure what was happening with the other 2 cars ahead as to why the other driver braked) but I rear-ended the vehicle ahead of me. Even though there was no visible damage to the car I hit (and only a small crack on my bumper) the other driver called 911. Long story short, the officer charged me with 'careless drivin...
