Traffic School

Plea in Abeyance 

Eligible violators may be able to have their guilty plea held in abeyance and ultimately dismissed rather than posted as a conviction by attending a traffic class.

Eligibility

The Sandy City Prosecutor has given blanket authorization for minor traffic violators to enter a "Plea-in-Abeyance" before the Sandy Justice Court provided certain eligibility requirements are met. 

Criteria

•  
  No other moving traffic violations anywhere within the last 24 months. The court will check your record!
  
  
   
•  
  You have not attended a traffic class for a violation or entered into a plea-in-abeyance with any court within the last 24 months.
  
  
   
• This citation must NOT be for any of the following: 
  • Any alcohol or drug related violation 
  • Reckless driving or racing 
  • More than 30 mph in a school zone 
  • Speeding +25 mph over the limit 
  • Multiple moving violations 
  • Any other serious mandatory court appearance violation

If you meet the above criteria, contact the Sandy Justice Court between 5-14 days from the citation date at (801)568-7160 to verify eligibility. There is an additional traffic school fee in addition to the amount of bail and surcharges.
