I am under 18 years old and I got a traffic ticket.  What do I do?

Minors who receive civil traffic citations must appear in court at the scheduled time and date with a parent or legal guardian.  The hearing is not a trial, but an opportunity for the Judge to explain the options available to the juvenile and their parents.
