I don't see the diversion option, but will have her check into the diversion option. She has a clean driving record, but was going 13 over is a school zone in Greenwood. That may be why there is no option on the ticket.
I believe he's saying he hands his LTCH to the officer
I don't think they mention it on the tickets. The deferral/diversion program is at the discretion of the prosecutor. (My post above has the links for Johnson County, I believe, since you are in Franklin but a quick search for whatever County the ticket was issued in and deferral program should find it.
Wife got a ticket last week with 3 options on the ticket:
- plead
- no contest
- not guilty
What is the no contest option. How do we avoid this going on her record and jacking the insurance.
Not guilty is not an option - she was speeding
I used the crap out of the diversion program, until they wouldn't let me use it anymore. Paid a couple three counties that bribe money.
Been lucky in recent years. The pink paper first trick has always turned tickets into warnings.
Someone didn't read the OP...
My personal approach has always been to accept responsibility for my actions and pay the ticket. YMMV.
She will have to call the court and ask about diversion. It will not be an option on the ticket. When I worked in Elkhart County, I had pamphlets about diversion that I could give out when I wrote a ticket. It is kind of like a secret option.
The daughter worked in the clerk's office back several years ago. She said that people would pay the extra for the diversion, then get another ticket, so they would come in and yell at her that they wanted their money back now since the diversion was no longer an option. People are morons.
I just checked the website and it looks like it’s an available option.

What do you mean?It is imperative that once on the deferral program you do not receive any additional tickets during your term of deferral. Additional tickets or violations will result in your forfeiture of deferral fees and require you to pay your ongoing court fines and costs.
