The following instructions are important.  Please read carefully.

You must either pay the citation or request a hearing within 90 calendar days of the date the citation was issued.  You may not request a hearing after the 90-day deadline.  Failure to request a hearing or pay by the deadline will result in the Court issuing a Default Judgment against you.  You may not appeal a Default Judgment.  The Court is authorized to order the suspension of your driver's license.
