She is basically admitting to going 30+ mph over the speed limit

Maybe… smaller towns and cities are less likely to have an online form

Sep 8, 12:50pm

Every court is different… call the court clerk and ask for information

She should hire a lawyer when jail time is on the line

No jail time is possible for an Infraction

For a Class B misdemeanor in UT? I thought up to $1K / 6mo
