Our law firm receives many calls from individuals who incorrectly believe that by simply paying the fine stated on their Passing a School Bus ticket, their traffic ticket is resolved and they will never have to deal with it again.

That is not always the case.

As stated in most court’s paperwork and website disclosures, when an individual simply pays the fine associated with their traffic ticket, the defendant is required to waive their right to jury trial and enter a plea of guilty or nolo contendere (no contest).

Convictions for School Zone tickets may have unforeseen repercussions.

Some moving violations that are simply paid may incur the state driving record penalty points, surcharges increase in insurance rates and the possibility of the suspension of your driver’s license.
