If you have a scheduled electronic hearing, you will be emailed an invitation with a link.  All others will need to appear.

Beginning October 1, 2022 Utah is offering a deffered prosecution. You should check the table on this page above to see if you qualify for either that or the court’s plea in abeyance.

South Weber offers a 6 month traffic school plea in abeyance which means the guilty or no contest plea will be held until the terms are completed. After 6 months of full compliance, the charge will be dismissed. The administrative fee is $25 in addition to the cost of the violation. You are also required to take a traffic course either on-line or with a neighboring city within 60 days. (Additional Charge)

The City Prosecutor has given the clerks very specific limitations regarding traffic school qualifications.  Some qualifications are:

1. Your current charge must be minor.
1. speed must be under 19 miles over the limit
2. an accident cannot be involved
3. it cannot be in a school zone
2. You must have a valid driver’s license when cited. You may not have a commercial driver’s license (CDL).
3. You may not have had a plea in abeyance or attended a traffic school within the last 12 months.
4. You may not have had more than 2 moving violations within the last three years from any state.

If you believe you qualify and would like to file a motion to hold your plea in abeyance, please contact the court clerk at 801-479-3177 ext. 2203. After the clerk verifies your eligibility, you will be emailed the appropriate document to be returned by email within seven days. When it is received, the judge will sign an order to hold the plea in abeyance which will be emailed to you at that time with instructions on how to pay and complete the traffic course.
