Speeding ticket court questions
Hello! I have court tomorrow (Location: Northern Utah) for a speeding ticket and I had a couple questions about what to expect.
I was originally going 13 over, but the officer reduced the ticket to 5 over. I tried to apply for deferred traffic/traffic school through MyCase, but found out I can’t because I’m under 21. The court is instead allowing me to do a plea in abeyance, but they told me I have to appear in person for it.
My court time is at 4 PM and I have work at 6 PM, so I’m wondering how long arraignments like this usually take. Should I plan on calling into work, or are these normally pretty quick?
Also, will I actually need to speak to the judge and wait for my case to be called, or is it more of a paperwork/signing process with the clerk?
Thank you!
