Deferred Prosecution

What is Deferred Traffic Prosecution?

It is an opportunity to have your traffic citation dismissed from your record.
You can apply online by answering questions in a guided interview.
You’ll pay a total fine plus a $5 administrative fee (the total fine is the same as it would be if you appeared in court.)
You’ll enter a plea and agree to not get a traffic conviction in a 12-month period
The process is completely voluntary, although not everyone will qualify.

To qualify you must be over the age of 21, have a Utah license and not have any convictions within the last 2 years, among other things.

You can choose not to participate in Deferred Traffic Prosecution and instead go through the normal processes. That would involve either paying a fine or going to court on your court date to challenge the ticket.
