Can I get a time extension to pay a traffic ticket?

Yes, you can request a time extension to pay a traffic ticket in North Carolina. Depending on the type of ticket you receive, the court may grant you an extension of up to 90 days to pay the ticket. The court may also allow you to pay your ticket in installments over an extended period of time, but you must request this option. The request for a time extension must be made in writing and must be submitted to the court where you were issued the ticket. You should include your full name, date of birth, the ticket number, and the reason that you are requesting extra time to pay the ticket. If the court decides to grant your request for an extension, you will usually be required to pay a fee. This fee will vary depending on the county in which you received the ticket and the type of ticket you received. You should check with the court to find out how much the fee is. If you fail to make your payment before the extended deadline, you may be charged with contempt of court and could be fined or even sent to jail if the court determines that you willfully disobeyed the court order. Therefore, it is important to make sure that you can pay the ticket before requesting an extension.
