Double fines on holidays?

I have often heard of double fines being enforced on major holiday weekends, eg: Christmas, Thanksgiving. I failed to obey a traffic control device in Ohio, the Saturday before labor day, and am curious if I might be needing to withdraw a whole lot more than I was planning. The court is closed on sundays or I would call, and since it is my first ticket it is waiverable.

Hello David. I am in Ohio (Cleveland) and I have to admit that I havent heard of that VTL either. Double fines for school and road work zones, but that was all I am aware of. At any rate, look on the back of the citation. It will have a phone number to the Clerk of Courts. Call that number after 8 am on a weekday ( remember this Monday is a holiday and they wont be open), give them the citation number and they will tell you exactly what the fine is.Best of luck and I hope this is useful to you...

I can’t answer for Ohio, however in Australia on holidays we have double fines and double demerit points, we have only 12 points to begin with and losing 4 points for example can incur a fine of over $1000 as well as a 4 week licence supension. Statistics show the death toll on holidays to have lessened significantly since this new system was introduced.... Show More
