Reasons for getting a traffic ticket extension

When you receive a traffic ticket, you can go to court to fight your ticket and try to defend yourself to avoid the tickets. Sometimes after the court date is set, something comes up and you can’t go. There is the option of obtaining a traffic fine extension.

Obtaining an extension will differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. There are usually three ways to do it. You can call the district attorney’s office and request the extension. Call the number on the ticket or visit the courthouse on the ticket to request an extension. Some places require you to appear in court to be granted overtime.

Some states only allow one extension, while others can grant up to three. This is normally a free process, but some charge a small fee to delay the hearing date.

There are some good reasons to go ahead and try to get an extension on your traffic ticket.
