Trial by Declaration for Passenger Seat Belt Ticket (Traffic Law)

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 23:59:00 GMT

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: California
Hello,
I was issued a ticket in California for not wearing the seat belt ( I was a passenger in the back seat). More over I was a visitor to CA and I don't even have a drivers license. I was given a ticket for 92$. I paid the amount, but after paying I came to know about this trial by declaration procedure. Can I apply for it now? Can anyone tell me the exact procedure? unfortunately 29th was the due date for the citation. Can I still apply for the new trial by declaration??
Can anyone answer ASAP?? Thank you in advance.

    Thank you. I made a call to the court clerk and they asked me to send a written request to reopen the case. Thanks once again.
