Q. I want to post a cash bond for my driver's license, can I do that?
 
A. You can post a cash bond pursuant to Supreme Court rules prior to your first court date.
Please be aware of the following:
  • The amount of the bond is normally $75.00 (cash) but varies according to the violation.
  • Bonds can be posted only in cash.
  • Checks and money orders are not accepted.
  • Bail must be posted at the Clerk's office where your ticket is pending
Exception: You may not post a cash bond and receive your license if you are charged with any of the following offenses:
  • speeding 40 or more miles over the posted speed limit
  • fleeing or attempting to elude police
  • leaving the scene of an accident involving death or injury
  • driving under the influence (DUI)
  • reckless driving
  • drag racing
