If you wish to pay a fine before your scheduled court date you may do so in most cases. Many summonses are payable in advance of court and, if paid, do not require a court appearance. However, by paying the fine, you are pleading guilty to the charged offense. Based upon the payment, a conviction would enter and if the charge is a violation of the Model Traffic Code a report of the conviction would be made to the Colorado Motor Vehicle Division and points would be assessed on your driver's history.
