Call the court and they should let you come in early or postpone it to a convenient date. If you don't contact them and get it settled or postponed then there'll be an arrest warrant waiting for you when you return.

I would call them and pay the money I owe them its cheaper then, bailing back out of jail from the warrant, paying the fees, license reinstatement fee possibly, and a lawyer fee if your going to fight all the charges which you sound like your guilty. You might get lucky and get off with $200-$300. Good Luck

you could call them and ask how much you owe them and pay it if you don't pay it or go to court they will put a warrant out for your arrest , when you get back in the us you will have another ticket for fail to appear and take the real good chance on going to jail , i would just pay it , its the lesser of two evils

Call the court, they will usually allow you to postpone the date.

You must call and try to get a differnt court date. If you dont show a warrent for your arrest will be placed for failure to show.

Contact the court informing them of this.

If you're challenging the tickets, call and ask for postponement.
If you're not, just call and ask how much money to send in.

Let a traffic lawyer go for you. That's what I did.
