a summons is a notice to appear in court. call the clerk of the court and ask them. usually you can just pay the ticket and not go to court. if you're fighting it you have to go of course. and that may cost you more in the long run.

In Ontario Canada, the speeding tickets and the summonses look and are different. The speeding ticket has a set fine printed on the front (with information about pleading guilty, not guilty, guilty with an explanation on the back). The summons won't have a set fine and will have a court date that you will have to appear on.

A ticket can just be paid and a summons means you have to go to court, it usually means you were going way fast. Reckless driving or something like that, or maybe you have lots of past tickets.

If you just got a ticket, you can pay it and be done. If you get a summons, you have to appear in court.

A ticket is a summons. At least it is here in Texas. But you can either pay the fine or go to court to fight it. If you go to court, you can get other options for paying the fine and you don't have to actually plead guilty. You can plead "nolo contendre" or "no contest" which is NOT a guilty plea.

In GA all of our tickets were summons, you have the option on many to pay it instead of appearing.
