    Speeding NYC Interstate 81 (non-US citizen)

    NY reports traffic tickets to Canada and they are entered on your record. Not sure if they suspend for non payment but I would guess that they do. In any event this is going to increase your insurance. You are not required to show up for the pretrial but you must pay or show up on your court...

    Incorrect Summons Info Grounds for Dismissal?

    I don't think I can take it anymore. OK, so the OP deserved it. Actually the more I think about it I agree with YAG. I'm going to start selling colored contact lens to all licensed drivers. Then we could all drive as fast as we wanted.

    Texas Warrant Since you don't deny the ticket the following is assuming that they have the right person. When you didn't show for court you were tried and found guilty. You gave up your right to enter a plea and have a trial. Case closed. Then your license is suspended and you are subject...
