To ‘Waive your appearance before the Judge’ you MUST:

  1. Enter a plea of guilty by signing the back of the Citation (please read the citation carefully);

  2. Provide a copy of Proof of Insurance on the vehicle that was driven at the time and date of the Citation;

The Clerk of Court is required to provide the Bureau of Motor Vehicles with the identity of anyone failing to submit proof of insurance on the vehicle driven on the date and time the Citation was issued.  If no insurance is shown, your Driver’s License WILL BE SUSPENDED by the BMV.
