Court date for traffic ticket
So a few weeks ago I got pulled over for speeding here in KC. When the officer asked to see my proof of insurance, I couldn't find a current copy...though I did have one from previous months. He gave me the speeding ticket (which is fine...I was speeding) and a ticket for no proof of insurance. He told me that all I needed to do was send in proof of current insurance when I received the ticket in the mail, and they would wipe it out.
As it turns out, it's not that simple. After talking to someone from the online KC court system info dept, I learned that I actually have to set a court date and appear in court. I have the proof of insurance, so that's not a problem. What I'm wondering is, do I need a lawyer? Do I need documentation other than the proof of insurance? Has anyone ever dealt with this? Thanks for any help. |

Nope, there's usually soemone there that'll point you to the correct person to show proof of insurance to.
No lawyer needed. Now, if I were you I'd pay a lawyer to get that ticket off ur record. It's worth the one time $250 or so and not the extra monthly hike in insurance for at least 3 years. No "speeding" tickets in about 5 years now. ![]() Soon as I get them I call my lawyer and just mail ticket and check to him. |

So another question... I already have the court date set and I'm not planning to get a lawyer now. Will I have to pay any court costs? |

I had to show the judge my insurance card and left after that. It was a 2 minute drill with the judge.
