1. Traffic Violation: A driver receives a speeding ticket, resulting in fines, fees, and potentially an appearance in court.
2. Nonpayment or Missed Court Date: If the driver does not pay the fine or fails to appear in court as required, the court may become involved.
3. Default Judgment and Suspension: If you do not pay the fines or fees or respond to the court, a default judgment may be entered, and the court may report the unpaid violation to the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD).
4. Notice and Hearing: The MVD will typically send a notice providing you with the opportunity to pay the outstanding debt or request a hearing. If the driver still fails to pay or attend the hearing, the suspension process may continue.
5. Suspension: If you fail to resolve the unpaid ticket and any associated court-ordered obligations within a specified time, your driver's license may be suspended.
It is important to note that the specific rules, timelines, and procedures for license suspension for unpaid speeding tickets may vary in different counties or jurisdictions within Arizona. For accurate and up-to-date information, you can contact the Arizona MVD, visit their website, or consult with a local attorney.
