Can I reopen a traffic case that was tried without me being present?
I received a traffic citation in Lexington SC in February of this year for DUS. The officer told me that it was for failure to provide proof of Insurance for an accident I’d been involved in 2012. He said if I could provide the proof he’d resend the ticket and I wouldn’t have to come to court. I did this but it took a couple days. The suspension was cleared but he didn’t resend the tickets and I didn’t go to court. What can I do now. I don’t have 650.00

That is a long ways back to file a motion to overturn a verdict. Find a good attorney and try to get a claim on manifest injustice. Contact legal aid and see if they help
