A fix it ticket is a non moving violation like an expired registration, expired driver’s license, or defective light.
If the issue is fixed and then proof is brought to the court the ticket amount can be reduced.
Because of the higher expectation of CDL drivers they are not eligible for Driver’s Safety Courses or Deferral.
A court date can be scheduled to talk to the prosecutor.
Because the Off Truck Route ticket is a City Ordinance and not a state rules of the road violation is does not effect a CDL the way a speeding ticket would.

A payment plan can be set up by calling the court.
The lowest payment per month accepted by the court is $50 per month.
