More Than 15 Days Since I Was Issued Ticket
Hi,
I was given a ticket on May 11th, 2011...and I know that I have 15 calendar days to go to court and give my "Notice of Intent to Appear for Trial". I am, however, out of town and won't be back until May 30th. This is a gap of 19 days.
Has this happened to anyone? and do you know if the courts allow a leeway time period to account for human error and tardiness?
Please advise me. Ever since I found out, I have been terrified. This is a very silly ticket that I can easily fight, so I would like to do anything and everything possible to NOT have it stick to my record for 3 years.
Thank you!
