If You Are Charged with an Offense
If you have received a traffic ticket, also called a summons and complaint, you may face arraignment, particularly if you are charged with a serious traffic offense like drunk driving, breath test refusal, driving while suspended or revoked, or driving without insurance. DO NOT IGNORE THE TICKET! If you do, the municipal court will issue a warrant for your arrest. The police could take you into custody. You may have to post bail and pay a fine for not appearing when required to.
