Is there a way to get out of appearing in person for a reckless operation ticket if I’m active duty military?
I’m stationed outside of OH and was pulled over in there for reckless operation doing 25 mph over the speed limit on a highway. I have never had a ticket. it says that I have to appear in person. It would be almost impossible for me to do so. Is
there anyway I could just pay a fine or appear over the phone? I emailed the court and left a voicemail but it’s Friday and they won’t be open until Monday. I’m really
stressing out about this.

Call the court clerk and ask if you can make a telephone appearance instead of being physically present in the court.
If a telephone appearance is allowed, ask the court clerk for the documents you will need to file to request a telephone appearance and the deadline prior to the hearing for filing those documents. If the required documents are not timely filed, your request for a telephone appearance will be denied.
