How long do I have to pay a traffic ticket after it is issued?

In Utah, you have 30 days after the ticket is issued to pay for it. If you do not pay the ticket within the given 30 days, the offender will have to pay an additional late fee. If the traffic ticket is not paid within 60 days, the case will go into collections and the offender may face additional penalties. If your ticket is a moving violation, it is possible to contest the ticket in court. You must formally request a trial in court within 30 days of the ticket being issued. It is important that you arrive to the court date on time and follow the proper protocol. It is also important to note that if you do choose to contest the ticket in court, any fine or fees can be added to the original ticket. Failure to pay a traffic ticket could also result in a suspension of your driver’s license and a hold on vehicle registration or renewal. As such, it is important to respond to your ticket in the proper timeframe. If you do not believe you should have been issued the ticket, it is important to take the proper steps to contest it rather than simply not paying it.
