What Wyoming Traffic Court Records Contain
Civil infraction records at the 62A District Court include the citation number, date and location of the alleged violation, the specific charge, and the case outcome. If a hearing was held, the record shows the date, the judge or magistrate assigned, and whether the infraction was upheld, reduced, or dismissed. Any fines ordered and points assessed as a result are also part of the public case record. Common civil infraction traffic charges in Wyoming include speeding, improper passing, failure to yield, and cell phone violations.
Misdemeanor traffic records contain more information. They show the charge, arraignment date, any bond set, all scheduled hearing dates, and the final case disposition. Sentencing details such as fines, probation terms, or jail time appear in the public record. For OWI offenses under MCL 257.625, the entire criminal proceeding is on file. These records remain accessible unless expunged under Michigan's Clean Slate law. Employers, insurers, and background check services may look at them when conducting reviews.
Responding to a Wyoming Traffic Citation
When you get a traffic citation in Wyoming, you have 14 days to respond. Your three choices are: admit the violation, admit with an explanation, or deny the violation and ask for a hearing. You can respond by mail, in person at the 62A District Court at 2650 Dehoop Ave. SW, by phone at 616-530-7385, or through an attorney. Missing the 14-day deadline results in a default judgment. That means automatic points on your driving record, the possibility of license suspension by the Secretary of State, and extra fees added to your original fine.
Admitting means you pay the full fine and accept all points. Admitting with an explanation lets you speak to the judge or magistrate. They may lower the fine, but points apply if the violation stands. Denying sets the case for a formal or informal hearing. Informal hearings are less structured and do not require a lawyer. Formal hearings follow Michigan court procedures. Courts in Michigan cannot change the point values assigned to specific violations by state law. Those are fixed, regardless of how a judge rules on the fine amount.
Note: Paying the fine online counts as admitting the violation, so points will be added to your driving record for that citation.
Traffic Points and Wyoming Driving Records
Michigan's point system applies to all traffic violations processed at the 62A District Court. OWI under MCL 257.625, reckless driving, fleeing a police officer, and leaving the scene of an accident each carry 6 points. Speeding 16 or more mph over the limit is 5 points. Speeding 11 to 15 mph over is 4 points. Going 1 to 10 mph over the limit, running a red light, failing to yield, and passing a stopped school bus are each 3 points. Most other violations add 2 points to your record.
Points stay on your driving record for two years from the date of the violation. If you accumulate 12 or more points within any two-year window, the Michigan Secretary of State will require a driver reexamination before you can continue to drive. The Secretary of State can be reached at michigan.gov/sos or by phone at 517-322-1624. Courts cannot reduce or remove points from your driving record. Only time does that.
