Nevada speeding ticket mandatory court?

Question

I got a speeding ticket in Henderson, NV, that said mandatory court, and it gives me a court date and time. I was cited at 75mph on a 65mph freeway, with the actual speed said 84mph. The problem is I live in CA bay area, my car and license are registered under CA too, which is a long way to Henderson, do I still need to appear in court? Can I just pay the for bail? If so, how much would that be (it said bail amount $0 on the citation)?

Answer 1

In most cases, you can arrange with the court to have a surrogate (usually a lawyer) appear for you if getting to the court is a difficulty because you are out of state.   The same lawyer will usually represent your interests and try to plea down the charge.

Answer 2

My husband had a ticket in Ohio for causing a wreck. We live in Indiana. He contacted the court house in Ohio. They gave him an amount and told him to write a note to the judge. The note was to ask to be excused from court and to except the payment as restitution. They said call back 1 week after the note and payment were mailed. He did all this and the judge accepted the payment and he was excused from court.

Answer 3

You need to call the court listed on the citation. They should be able to give you a bond amount.
