If you would like to plead “Not Guilty” and request a hearing before a General Sessions Judge, you must do so in writing
using the form on page 3 of your traffic ticket. If you have lost your ticket, you may download a form, but you must know your citation number, which is printed in the
upper right corner of the first page of your citation. If you do not know your ticket number, please call the Traffic
Violation Bureau at the number listed on our “Contact Us” page and they will provide it to you.
Your signed “Not Guilty” plea must be received by the Traffic Violation Bureau no later than forty-five (45) days from the issuance date of the ticket. Once a court date has been assigned, you will be notified by mail at the address provided on the form. If you fail to appear in court on the assigned date and time or you appear and are found guilty, a judgment will be entered against you, resulting in the assessment of additional fees. Failure to pay the fines and costs may result in the suspension of your driver’s license, the garnishment of your wages or levy of your property to satisfy your court ordered obligation.
Send the completed form to the Traffic Violation Bureau’s mailing address, listed on our “Contact Us” page.
