Citations or traffic tickets are issued in the State of Georgia for various violations of traffic law. You must respond to a citation, usually by paying a fine or appearing in court. Failure to do so may result in a warrant being issued for your arrest and/or your driver's license being suspended.
If you lose a traffic ticket after receiving it, please contact the Port Wentworth Police Department at 912-964-4360.
If you wish to dispute the citation, you must appear in court personally on the scheduled date, and enter a not guilty plea. Appearing in court gives you an opportunity to fight the traffic ticket in front of a judge or jury. Some people prefer to hire a lawyer to defend them in court.
Remember, you cannot be found guilty of committing a traffic offense unless there is clear, accurate and convincing evidence that you committed the violation.
