Legal Question in Traffic Law in District of Columbia

according to the dc dmv web site if a ticket is not available after 20 days to pay online it is to be administratively dismissed. is that right? do any other statues apply if it is not posted online to be paid?

I went to the DMV webpage and couldn't find anything regarding the 20 day issue you cited above. My advice would be to do all the digging you can to find out if you need to go to Court, if you need to pay the fee, etc. The last thing you want is to not pay a fine, miss a court date, have a warrant issued for your arrest, and then get arrested in the future when you innocently get pulled over for speeding or having a tail light out.

Best of luck.******The above is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client privilege.*******
