What types of traffic offenses require a court appearance?

In South Dakota, there are several traffic offenses which require a court appearance. If a driver is charged with Reckless Driving, DUI, or Fleeing and Eluding, they must appear in court. Additionally, if a driver causes an accident while driving and is found to be negligent, he or she must appear in court. Other traffic offenses which require a court appearance include driving without insurance, driving with a suspended or revoked license, and exceeding the speed limit by more than 20 mph. If a driver is charged with any of these offenses, they are required to appear in court before the judge. Drivers who are found guilty of traffic offenses are subject to fines, points on their license, or loss of license for an extended period of time. In some cases, a driver may be sentenced to jail time. Therefore, it is important for drivers to take traffic violations seriously and appear in court if they are charged with any of these offenses. Failing to appear in court may result in a bench warrant being issued and further penalties.
