Traffic Tickets

The Warrick County Infraction Deferral Program is a voluntary program authorized by law to allow a driver with a good driving record to maintain that record. Entry into the program results in dismissal of the ticket. For most drivers full compliance to the program entails payment of the deferral fee and not receiving any criminal offenses or traffic tickets for one the next 12 months. The ticket will be re-filed if the driver fails to comply with the Program terms and conditions. Drivers between 16 and 24 years of age who are ticketed for a moving violation will be required to participate in a Driver Safety Program/Defensive Driving Course.

When a driver successfully completes the Traffic Deferral Program, “points” are not assessed against the driver’s record. This allows a good driver to maintain a clean driving record and prevent the increase of auto insurance rates as a result of this ticket.

It is imperative that once on the deferral program you do not receive any additional tickets during your term of deferral. Additional tickets or violations will result in your forfeiture of deferral fees and require you to pay a court fine and the costs.
If you fail to pay the Program fee or provide the signed Agreement to the Clerk in a timely fashion, you may be denied participation in the Program and you MUST appear in Court or pay your ticket. Call the Warrick County Clerk at (812) 897-6160 for information about the cost of the ticket.
