My late father-in-law was a judge in NYC. In general, this requires a court apperance for a "rereferral" to traffic school.Dear Honorable Judge, My name is Michael . I have been a safe responsible driver with a clean driving record for a little over five years now. You need to fill out the right side of the ticket completely (including your current mailing address) and sign it. In this article, we will discuss how to write a formal letter to a judge, along with the proper format and a sample letter. Dear Judge Jones, I am requesting a second extension of time to complete defensive driving concerning this ticket. The first thing you should write is how sorry you are for the infraction. Read your ticket carefully. Make adjustments to the template.
