you call get the ticket price then mail a money order in. If you are going to loose your license get a lawyer in the town/city you got the ticket in. It should be a few hundred to hire a lawyer. You shouldn't have to show up to court and most of the time the lawyer will get it dismissed/thownout. The lawyer should explain the process once you ask for advice.

ya, most states now have something called the resident violators compact (I think) where the punishments from one state are transferrable to your home state. I agree with getting the lawyer, especially if your liscense is at stake. They have a good chance of getting it dismissed, or at least dropped to something that doesn't have points so you don't lose your liscense.
