There should not be any cost besides the cost of the ticket if you pay it. Why would there be a court cost if you are not going to court?

Have you never been cited for a fine before? Just pay it. Go into the registry, or the courthouse and pay it. If you don't pay it on time then they add on (in my town anyways) $25 or 25% whichever is more. Usually they give 30 days to pay a 100$ fine, and up to 90 days to pay expensive fines. Nobodys going to hunt you down and jail you, dog the bounty hunter isn't going to show up knocking... None of that. If you don't pay it, and don't go to the court house, you will get a bench warrant. Then if a cop stops you and runs your licence, he can arrest you on a bench warrant (which he will 99% of the time NOT DO unless you have over 500 in outstanding fines)... Its no big deal. Even if you don't pay it, nothing happens till its time to register your vehicle again. Then you will be paying registration, PLUS the fine, PLUS 25% of the fine on top before you get your stickers for the plates.

I used to speed a lot, and get random equipment violations when I was a kid. Ive paid probably 10G in fines in my time. No big deal.

My wife says she has never seen anybody put a seat belt on one handed as fast as I could , but I have still got caught
I have a bad habit of getting rolling ,then putting it on


Paying ASAP is in you best interest
Forget to pay and end up with a warrant

Hopefully the no seat belt ticket doesnt cost as much as it does here.A old friend got one about 5-6 years ago it cost him$65.Maybe they can let you do community service if you cant afford to pay the fine.

So I went to court today to pleed guilty. Turned out the wrong judge was there and I need to go back April 4th ... SO I went to the DMV.

The DMV said I need to pay a court surcharge too even tho Im pleeding guilty.... she said it should be around 150 bucks all said and done .... We will see....
Sucks that they are going to hit me with a dam surcharge too.
