回复：Attorney, for not wearing safty belt...

Here is the thing. When she chose to use written declaration instead of appearing in person and she failed to send the declaration in, besides the fine for the original ticket, the court may have also imposed a civil assessment fee. On top of that, the court may have also imposed a failure to appear misdemeanor charge on her. These of course, depend on her specific state laws and may not have been the case. When a missed court date, there are consequences.
