Appearing for your wife on the speeding ticket won't be acceptable to the court.Ask the court clerk if your wife can make a telephone appearance instead of being physically present in the courtroom.If a telephonic hearing is allowed, your wife will need to complete the appropriate forms for requesting a telephone appearance by the deadline which the court clerk can tell you.  If the forms for requesting a telephonic hearing are not filed with the court by the deadline, the request will be denied.
