I got a speeding ticket (93 in a 65) in Ohio on the way home from DGTrials and the ticket was due on Friday the 9th. I mailed it out that day, and I'm worried that they might have issued a warrant for my arrest. My friends tell me as long as it was postmarked that day you are fine and if they do issue a warrant they send this letter first and wait a couple days.
I would love to hit up my local "touge" this weekend without fear of driving a car.
Could you guys clear this up for me?

Yes, had gotten a ticket in Jan and put it off to the last minute. Called to see if I would have an late penalties or warrents when I issued check on the day it was due. The lady in the clerks office said it goes by the post marked date. That was confirmed by a government official.
you dont get a warrant right away. First they send you a "Failure to Appear" which could cost you 300 bucks in California..but if you get one just call in and say you already payed.

should've dropped by the court house and drop it in the box....
only if you don't have a warrant...
last time i went to the court house, some guy had a warrant for his arrest, and the cops got him inside of the court house.
felt sorry for that guy.

Just call everyday until they get it.....Then once they get it, ask the clerk out on a hot date, and show her the backseat of the car you got the ticket in...got it?! :naughty:

In Cali. No show = $1000 warrant.
I know. I had missed a shitload of court dates.
The following things I did was,
1. Make a new date for court.
2. Reason: NO EXCUSE.
I usually get off a shitload of time. When people make excuses, Its bad.
DO NOT MAKE EXCUSE.
