Attendance and proof of attendance provided to the Spring Hill Municipal Deputy Clerk will entitle you to dismissal of the moving violation charge from your ticket. Dismissal means that your “guilty” plea on the charge will not be forwarded to the Tennessee Department of Safety, and the charge should, therefore, not result in points being added to your driving record for insurance purposes.

You must appear in court on your assigned court date so the Judge can determine if you are eligible to attend driving school. Eligibility is based on your driving record. 

No. Federal law prohibits the “masking” of moving violations committed by persons who hold a commercial driver’s license.

Yes, you may pay your ticket prior to your Court date. You will be assessed the maximum fine on each charge, with court costs and a cash bond forfeiture fee applicable to your citation. Your payment will be treated as a “guilty” plea on the charges on the ticket, and reporting that disposition to the Tennessee Department of Safety will be handled as required by state law. You will not be eligible to attend Traffic Safety School unless you come to Court and enter a plea before the Judge, at which time your driving record will be discussed to determine your eligibility for the school.

If you plan to come to court on the charge, bring your proof of insurance with you. However the proof must demonstrate that you were insured on the date that the Officer wrote you the Citation. If you obtain insurance “after the fact”, the Judge will be unable to dismiss your insurance charge for compliance. Sufficient proof of insurance in force at the time you were cited for the violation should result in this charge being dismissed for compliance by the Judge. If you do not wish to come to court on the charge, but want the Judge to look at your proof of insurance and consider dismissing the charge for compliance, you may fax your proof of insurance to the Deputy Clerk at (931) 486-0516. The Deputy Clerk will show your proof to the Judge, who will then consider whether dismissal of the insurance charge for compliance is appropriate, and you will be notified of the outcome by the Deputy Clerk.  Please call the Deputy Clerk to make sure your fax has been received.
