Are there payment plans for paying traffic tickets?
Hi, and welcome to Fluther. I don’t know of any place that allows “payment plans” for traffic tickets, but I wouldn’t rule it out, I suppose. If you can get the court to hear your plea for hardship and why you should be allowed this privilege, then they might let you set something up. For example, if you need your car to work and need to keep working in order to pay the ticket, then they might see the logic in that and approve it. But I wouldn’t count on it. A $500 ticket is for something pretty serious, at least in the court’s eyes, and in most cases I think your license will be suspended for the duration of the non-payment period. If you do manage to set up some sort of payment plan option, then I would expect that you’d have a restricted license for the term of the payment period. Say, “you can drive to and from work, and to and from the grocery store and doctor” for example, and no more. And if you’re ticketed during that period without being able to prove that you were driving in
