Steep ($500) HOV Traffic Ticket

I was ticketed for speeding on HOV. What are my options if I do not have money to pay $500? My last traffic violation was about 5 years ago. Thank you for taking the time,

Re: Steep ($500) HOV Traffic Ticket

You could try to negotiate a settlement with the prosecutor for some less expensive infraction on the day of your hearing in traffic court, if the facts of your particular case are amenable to such a disposition.

Otherwise, if you're found guilty of the HOV violation and fail to pay the fine and associated

court costs, your driver's license will be suspended until such time that they're paid.
