If they didn't...I'd have little incentive to drive the speed limit in other states.

I know folks who've gotten speeding tickets in other states, they're all the same. It's just a traffic violation, so it's prepaid-able. You only have to appear in court if you're charged with a misdemeanor or felony.

In VA, fines aren't printed on the ticket either, you have to call or go online for ticket fines.
I'll probably go anyway if I'm going to fight it. The top of the ticket said I need to appear there, but like I said, no date was given, so I guess it's an option. 6 pts would kill my insurance and potentially hurt my job, so I'll probably go in and see.
