Plea In Abeyance Impact

Summary

A plea in abeyance in Utah may be dismissed if found guilty of a new citation. Weigh court fees against potential insurance rate increases. Traffic school might reduce points, but its not guaranteed. Contesting a citation is a gamble, especially with serious violations like speeding 95 in a 75 zone and expired registration. Consider the likelihood of the officer attending court and the impact on your driving record.
