Question

Can I do jail time rather than paying off my ticket that is due tomorrow?

Answer 1

Talk to the court clerk, most courts will allow you to make some sort of payment plan if you cant afford to pay it all at once. They dont want to see you go to jail over a traffic ticket and will work with you.

Answer 2

That's the choice they'll give you if you don't pay.

Oh, that and loss of drivers license.

Answer 3

they might not let you cause it cost more to put you in jail

Answer 4

if ur a L*****n go to jail ull have fun

Answer 5

Not likely they want the money.

Answer 6

sort of, if you don't pay your ticket, you don't get jail time they suspend your license, but if you drive while your license is suspended then you go to jail if you get caught

Just take traffic school, it isn't much and will save points on your license

Answer 7

You don't have the money? they will grant you a extension, pay so much a month until it's paid, if you just don't want to pay it, they will probably put you on a work detail, pick up trash on the road way or something like that, I don't think they will put you in jail to work off the ticket, it may happen tho, in any case it's all up to the judge.
