Traffic Court

share
Traffic arraignments begin at 3:30 PM on Wednesday and at 1:30 PM on Thursday for those needing an interpreter. When arriving for traffic court, please check in with Court Clerk before entering the Courtroom. You need to be checked in by 4:45 PM. Schedule may be adjusted without prior notice.

If you are interested in seeing if you qualify for traffic school, please ask the Court Clerk about “Driver’s Awareness”.

During traffic arraignments, the Logan City Prosecutor is available in his office outside the Courtroom if you wish to talk with him.



Fix It Tickets
If you receive a fix it ticket, proof of fix it must be shown to the Court Clerk within 20 days of the date of the citation. To verify that your ticket is a fix it ticket, please check the Utah State Justice Court Bail Schedule.

Insurance Citations
The Court Clerk can dismiss a no proof of insurance and no insurance citation with proof of insurance coverage.

A written statement from an insurance agent or company verifying that the person had the required motor vehicle insurance coverage on the time and date of citation will allow the Court Clerk to dismiss a no proof of insurance charge. This statement should include:

  • YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE
  • POLICY COVERAGE THAT COVERS DATE OF CITATION
  • SIGNED AND DATED BY AGENT

See Utah Code Annotated Section 41-12a-303.2(2)(b) listing other alternatives to show proof of owner’s or operator’s security for dismissal of a no proof of insurance charge by the Court Clerk.

REMEMBER: The Defendant is responsible to verify with the Court Clerk that the proof of insurance has been received by the Court within 14 days of the issuance of the citation, the insurance proof is sufficient and that no proof of insurance charge has been dismissed. Failure to do so could result in the no proof of insurance charge remaining outstanding and a warrant being issued for the arrest of the Defendant.
