Do you still have to pay the ticket or does it get thrown out automatically?
Answer 1 :
Pay it before the court date or Johnny Law will find new ways to get more money from you, like Failure-To-Appear/etc., which will make you legally liable for even more money.
The only thing they care about is money ... pay Johnny Law off early and often and this will minimize your headaches and total cost.
-There are no other options.-
Answer 2 :
It does NOT get thrown out. The court date MAY be rescheduled. You need to contact the court BEFORE the date listed. It may not be a holiday for the court. I read somewhere that only 3 days a year are not considered a holiday by SOMEONE. Any given court will recognize about a dozen.
Answer 3 :
No, you still have to pay it. If you want to have your ticket removed from your record most states will allow you to take a traffic school.

If a cop gives you a traffic citation and the court date on the ticket is a holiday, will it get dismissed?
I received a ticket from a police office in Ohio. The court summons date was mistakenly noted as 2/20/2006 on the ticket. 2/20 is Presidents day and the court is closed. Will the ticket automatically be dismissed?
Answer 1 :
No. It will not be dismissed. You go to court on Tuesday morning and get it sorted out. If you don't, the court could suspend your driver's license for failure to appear. When you are in court, you can ask the judge to dismiss the ticket.
Answer 2 :
You have got to be kidding. Dismissed because the officer mistakenly wrote down a date that is a holiday. The clerk at the court will likely notify you of the correct date. But you should go ahead and call the court to find out when your resceduled date is.
Answer 3 :
What will probably happen is that the court clerk will notice the error and your case will be given a continuance to the next available session.
Sorry, you're not going to be able to get off on this (a technicality, at best)
No it won't be dismissed. If you're lucky, they will just postpone the court date to the next day. Call the court to check. If you miss the court date, no matter if the date printed on the ticket is worng or not, you may lose your license.

A friend booked us a holiday, could they change the name on the airline ticket without my permission?
As they booked the holiday I'm worried they could change the name on the airline ticket without my permission. Is there anyway I can stop them doing this?
Answer 1 :
nope. can't even do it with your permission. Once an airline ticket is issued it has to be cancelled otherwise that seat is yours until 5 minutes before the plane leaves and they give it up to Standby passengers. There is absolutely 100% no way possible for ANYONE to change the name attached to an airline ticket.

A parking ticket from last years holiday?
Last year at the end of october we had a weeks holiday in Sardinia and we hired a car. In this mornings post we received a signed for letter saying it was for a parking infringement in a town called Oristano. I do remember the ticket being under the windscreen wiper blade when we returned and the details do appear to be correct for the hire car we had. Anyone had a similar experience? Do I pay it ? If I don't what can happen?
Answer 1 :
Judgeing by the amount of foreigners here who cry "I don't understand when they bump your car and drive of "
I say good on yer, why not send them a sympathy card and get it franked by our tourist board.lol
Answer 2 :
Last year an EU accord was agreed between member states allowing them to pursue motoring fines and offences in the home country of any EU citizen. If you do not pay it is possible for a summons to be issued by an British court and you could be made to pay a much higher fine plus all associated expenses. Those expenses could be very high, better to pay up and smile than worry unnecessarily!

Buying train tickets for Austrian holiday?
We am planning a one week holiday to Austria between 17-24 December this year. Note I have already received some excellent responses to an earlier question regarding what to do - just need to sort the transport out now!
All I need to know now is how do you book train tickets within the Austrian network? We are going to be based in both Salzburg & Vienna, but will need to buy a return to Vienna from Salzburg.
Is it necessary (and cheaper) to buy them in the UK before we go? Or just wait until we arrive in Salzburg?
My only concern is not being able to secure tickets once we are there (not sure what the demand is like), or it may be more economical to purchase beforehand. Thanks
Answer 1 :
Buy a Tourist ticket online before you go. It gives unlimited travel between specified dates, far better value than buying individual tickets if you plan lots of journeys...;
Answer 2 :
Book in this country. That way you won't have the hassle of doing it in a strange place AND you might find it cheaper to do it here - tourist rates maybe!

Season ticket holders does your favorite track send you a Holiday greeting?
I received mine today from MIS http://www.mispeedway.com/Vanity-Pages/H… and if your track does I would love to see it. Thanks!
Answer 1 :
I held season tickets to both Cup races, and both Nationwide/ Busch races at Daytona for many years, and the only thing they ever sent me was a bill.. Awesome card.. It's nice to do business with people who appreciate your business..
Answer 2 :
Well, mine is a Nationwide only track, I haven't gotten a card in the three years since its been on the schedule. But I don't buy for the Grand-Am and never did buy for the F1 races, so maybe they send holiday cards to people who buy tickets for everything.

Can i enter Australia with a one way ticket on a working holiday visa?
Hi i am leaving to Australia on the 23 of this month and i have my working holiday visa but only have a one way ticket. Will i be able to enter the country with a one way ticket, because i have no clue how long i will be in Australia for so thats the reason why i did not book a return. I dont think there will be a problem but just wanted to double check.
Thanks
Answer 1 :
Our immigration people know how difficult it is to get an open return and how expensive it is to change bookings so you definitely don't need a return ticket when you come on a working holiday visa. You will however be expected to have access to enough funds to pay for one in addition to the approx. AUD$5000 that is required to ensure that you have enough to tide you over your initial stay and any periods of unemployment.
Answer 2 :
I would be very careful about this one and provide plenty of evidence that you have no intention of outstaying your visa. The Australian Department of Immigration states that to be eligible for the Visa:
You must have access to sufficient funds to support yourself for the initial stage of your holiday. Generally, AUD$5000 may be regarded as sufficient, but the amount may vary depending on your length of stay and the extent of your travel. You should also have a return or onward ticket or the funds for a fare to depart Australia.
You may be asked to provide evidence. Evidence may include a certified copy of a bank statement and an air ticket out of Australia.
see http://www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-…
As the other answerers have suggested it is possible to get through without the onward ticket but you are taking a big risk that they won't let you through.
Answer 3 :
I did it with no problems. Might be worth printing off your e-mail or whatever else you have as proof. If it was an electronic visa then it's a good idea to get a paper version after you land. It's available for free from immigration offices and some employers will need to see it.
Thanks

Can my ex change a name on holiday ticket without my knowledge?
I split with my girlfriend at the beginining of january 2008 we had a family holiday booked for may this year obviously im not going now and she has decided to ask her friend instead, i had no knowledge of this until last week and although i have asked for some money to be returned to me towards my costs i have received nothing, is it possible for her to change my name on my ticket without my say so?
Answer 1 :
If she had booked the tickets in the beginning then probably she can, if you were the one who booked them then she cannot. If she doesn't pay you back file a lawsuit or something if it was a lot of money.
Answer 2 :
it depends on who booked the holiday, if she booked it under here name on your behalf, then she has the right to change the name of the ticket.
there is always a group leader on these package holidays and thats who has the right to change the details of the other individuals.
with the money situation, you can ask her obv for the money and if she doesnt pay tell her your taking her to a small claims court which will cost both parties. your choice, hope that helps
Answer 3 :
I work for a major airline and if this is an airline ticket, names cannot be changed on airline tickets. The ticket is good for one year from the date of purchase and the only person who can use it is the person originally named on the ticket.
