Related: About this forumI just missed a court date.
For a speeding ticket.
Thought it was the 10th of September, it was the 1st.
What do I do? I live in Cocke Country, if that helps.
EDIT. And I was apparently supposed to appear in court in Parrotsville.

(1,855 posts)1. Most Likely, If you contact the court
they will reschedule it. There is a possibility that they ruled in your absence and you will just have to pay what fine the judge ordered for this case.

They'll also be able to tell you if a bench warrant has been issued for non appearance. If one has, turn yourself in at the cop shop. It beats having them break down your door at 4 AM to serve the damned thing.
