I have two tickets and I am not able to pay it without coming to the court, what should I do?

I have two tickets for no proof of insurance and unsafe change lane. I was required to appear in the court in Dec 2nd. I dont want to. I want to pay it without appearing in the court. The problem is my citation information was not in the system. Therefore, I dont know how much for these tickets, and I cant pay online. Are these violence really serious and required me to appear in the court? I am living in GA.I have two tickets and I am not able to pay it without coming to the court, what should I do?
My cousin's friend has the same issue. His friend's California ticket was not in the system. He kept calling the court house, and he even showed up at the court house before or on the ticket due date.

Still, the ticket was not in the system.

Then, later, after 6 months, he got a letter from the court saying that he did NOT appear at the court house, and the fine is $2000.00+.

Crazy! It sucks!

My suggestion to you is that you should visit the court house before the ticket due date, and ask the clerk about it.

Ask for his full name, and ask for his Supervisor's full name.

Ask them to proof that you were at the courthouse to deal with this issue before or on the ticket due date.

Ask them that you need someone/something/letter/writtings to proof that you were at the courthouse to deal with your ticket. A MUST DO !!! MUST HAVE !!!

Otherwise, after a few months, you may end up like my cousin's friend which is very troublesome.

Besides that, I was able to beat seven (7) California tickets in the past 2 years. All by the method of Trial By Written Declaration (TBWD). You just need to call the court, and ask to contest your ticket by TBWD. You will need to download a form TR-205 and mail out the bail (ticket payment), and explain your reason in TR-205. With TBWD, you don't have to show up at the courthouse. Make sure you mail TR-205 about 2 weeks before your ticket due date.

If you were found guilty, you still have one more chance to appeal which is called Trial de Novo (TDN).

At TDN, you have to show up in court , and if the Officer did not show up, you win. If he show up, do this:

1) Ask the Judge for his TBWD since he is to turn in his TBWD within one month.

2) Use your reasonings from TBWD, and attack/corss examine the Officer.
