The state traffic feet is collected on all traffic convictions.

• A. None
• B. False
• C. Only some
• D. True

Answer: (B)

Fines and fees assigned in traffic cases aren’t automatically the same in every situation. The availability and amount of a state traffic fee depend on how the case is resolved and local rules. For instance, if a ticket is dismissed, if the case is diverted or deferred, or if the offense is treated as a local or different type of violation, the state fee may not be collected. Some jurisdictions also waive fees for indigent defendants or apply local penalties instead of state charges. Because these exceptions exist, the statement that the state traffic fee is collected on all traffic convictions isn’t accurate.
