Ohio speeding ticket?

Question

I live in Indiana, but recently got a speeding ticket in Ohio. I have the address to send my payment, but I am gonna be about a week late in doing so. I'm assuming they might suspend my license until it is paid, but once they receive payment I will be reinstated. Is this true? Is there anything else I should know about? I am not familiar with Ohio laws.

Answer 1

you need to call them. If you need a little extra time paying they will be very accommodating, it happens all the time. But if you don't call them you will have a suspended license.

Answer 2

The biggest issue I've seen has been where a payment was late and instead of making contact with the courts, the issue was ignored.

There was a telephone contact number listed upon the summons you can call to talk to the court personnel. Advise them you've sent the check but it will be a week late. They should be able to provide an extension without any problems.

Best wishes.

Answer 3

Call the phone number and let them know your money is on the way, but will be late.

Chances are, your license won't be affected because it's a different jurisdiction. Make sure you retain proof of payment, either credit card or bank statement, just in case.

Answer 4

You'll end up having to pay an extra penalty for being late but they can't suspend your license that quickly. They need a court hearing to do that.

Answer 5
