Dude, stop making excuses. Your whole world can get turned upside down if you do not do the right thing. I have been in the same situation. Also, I have gotten 7 tickets at one time and it is perfectly legal. If you get a traffice attorney you would only be paying them about 80 dollars. If the cop does not show up in court than the tickets get thrown out of court. Nine out of ten they do not show up. My wife was a ticket gettin specialist and she always had an attorney. She has no points and the cops never showed up the court house. If you hire a lawyer, you do not have to show to court. what I am trying to say is get $80 together and you never have to leave the comfort of your own home. Peace and good luck.

There is no universal answer. I would guess that you are in a state that has standard fines and allows you the option to pleading guilty and paying the fine by mail. If you do that, then your insurer will probably raise your rates, you will be assessed points and have all the other consequences of a conviction for speeding as charged. If you go to court, you will first be asked how you wish to plead -- guilty or not guilty. If you plead not guilty, the court will schedule a trial at which you can cross-examine the cop and otherwise defend against the charge. If you plead guilty, the court will impose a fine. Could be the standard fine or the court could reduce it. There is also the option of pleading not guilty, setting a trial, and then trying to plea bargain with the prosecutor.

Contact the court if you can't get there. If you fail to appear they will issue an arrest warrant. If this happens, the next time you get stopped for a traffic violation, you will go to jail.
If you are found guilty the court can make payment arraignments or may even suspend the fine in Lu of community service.
No matter what though, it is best to make friends with the court. They are much more forgiving than if you ignore them.

The court will issue a warrant for your arrest and the next time you are pulled over you will be arrested. Failure to appear is a separate crime from the original offense so even if you are found not guilty of any of the speeding charges you will still be guilty of the failure to appear.
Stop whining and go explain it to the judge. Your in college and you are acting like an 8 year old.

A lot depends on what state you live in and were the tickets issued by state police or local police ??
If it's state then the tickets will show up as being unpaid and possibly a bench warrant can be issued for your arrest,it depends on the severity of the action & the mood of the judge.
If it was local police who issued you may get by with it,again it depends.

you had better pay - being a student of higher education you SHOULD know better
IF you do not pay - especially if the total is around $1000 there will be an arrest warrent out for you - they MIGHT come to your place of residence and arrest you there
Have fun in jail - you BROKE the law - now pay!!!!!!!
ps - for being a college student your typing and/or spelling is horrible!!!!!!!!!! - seems you have to smarten up on many levels - the first being maturity
btw - do you want some cheese with your whine?

talk to the judge and see if can get community service..i have done this a couple of times ...have friend take you ..if you don't show up he will sign a warrant for your arrest and you will go to jail until the next court date..maybe if talk with him you can get one of those thrown out or taken off..but you have to go to court for that ...that is your best thing to do i hope he/she is in a good mood...they try to work with you also ask if can make payments i also have done that but if it is $1000 that would equal to about 100 hours of community service...which would do you some good..maybe you can speak to drivers ed students what happens if you don't obey the laws

Failure to pay a citation results in an warrant being issued for your arrest. If you feel that you were erroneously cited, Use public transportation, or whatever method you use to get to school, go to the court clerk's office, plead not guilty and request a court or jury trial,

Would you like cheese with your Whine?
Are you are capable of seeing if you had not speeded, excessively, in front of two cops you would not have this predicament?
Because you seem very capable of seeing you can't afford to make said mistake.
In reading your cry for help, I feel very unsympathetic. Now, off with you, go to court and the Judge will explain your option if you should not pay.
Best wishes,
pup
