Aiken citizens should know their rights and responsibilities
Don’t Ignore Traffic Tickets
All tickets must be resolved through a legal process. Ignoring a ticket will not make it go away and in fact, additional penalties may be assessed if you do ignore it.
How to Reschedule a Court Appearance
Traffic Tickets Are Legal Documents
A conflict with your scheduled court appearance may let you change the court date. Call (803) 642-7620 and leave a message asking the officer to contact you about the possibility of rescheduling your appearance.
Rescheduling is solely at the discretion of the officer and you must call at least one week prior to the court date. Certain violations require a mandatory court appearance.
You may qualify for a reduction in the bond, or a reduction of the points associated with the violation if you pay the bond before your court appearance. The prerequisite that would allow this is that you must not have had a moving violation in the city of Aiken during the previous three years.
Purpose of Traffic Tickets
Frommer says Everyone is responsible for traffic safety, and the purpose of traffic tickets is to help keep the City of Aiken safer for us all.
