Forgetting or skipping a traffic court date can seem minor — but it can lead to warrants, license suspension, and even arrest. If you’ve missed your court appearance, take action fast to minimize the damage.
What Usually Happens:
- Court issues a bench warrant
- Your driver’s license may be suspended
- You may face additional fines
- The court may rule against you by default
What You Should Do:
- Contact the court immediately
– Explain the situation
– Request a new court date or ask to quash the warrant - Consult a traffic attorney
– Especially if a warrant has been issued - Check your license status at the DMV
– Make sure it’s still valid
Can You Be Arrested?
Yes, especially during a traffic stop. Warrants are public and shared with law enforcement.
Avoiding This in the Future:
- Sign up for text/email court reminders
- Put the date in multiple calendars
- Set alarms or have a friend remind you
Tip: Acting quickly after a missed date can show good faith — courts are more likely to work with you.
