The ticket is either marked as a citation or a violation. Don't look too much into the words I use, different states=different verbage. Anyways, citations are minor violations that can be paid and won't affect your record. Traffic violations will have a court date of two months from the date of the incident. You'll receive a notice to appear if it's something serious like suspended license or DUI. Here, a DUI without harm is strictly book and release. Most traffic violations can be paid and forgotten. Those that result in injury or property damage or fall under felonies become criminal violations and you will be arrested. Speeding over 100mph is arrestable and a minimum 30 impound of your vehicle.
