What is Citation?
The citation is the formal notice issued by the traffic warden or other officials; in reverse, the offender has to appear in the court of law. Usually, the citation is issued to those violators, who repeatedly violate the traffic rules or they have committed any big offense that is considered severe regarding the traffic rules implemented across the area. As the offender is presented before the court of law; he/she has a chance to prove himself/herself innocent. Those failing to prove so can be landed in jail for the short term, or they have to pay heavy fines. In some situation, the official written document is also taken from the individual that such violation will never be done again. In case, if the offender doesn’t visit the court of law on the designated date, the serious action can be taken against him. Those who are handed citation try to deal the matter as early as possible as it can also lead to the invalidation of their driving licenses or in some cases the citation can even affect the insurance premium.
What is Ticket?
The ticket is also an official document that is handed over to the traffic rule violator; it is a kind of penalty to the violator as he/she has to pay the money (mentioned on the ticket). The offender handed over ticket doesn’t need to appear in the court of law, what all he/she have to do is pay the ticket before the mentioned date. Usually, the tickets are handed to those who did minor traffic rules violence as the wrong parking or over speeding. The ticket is a kind of penalty, which directly depends on the nature of the offense committed. It is also seen that those who are not regular traffic rule offender are handed the tickets. On the other hand, the regular offender is handed the citation, and he/she has to present himself/ herself before the court of law.
