If you are cited for light law violations, and do not
wish to come to court, you must bring the vehicle and
receipts, if any, to Rockwood City Hall. The vehicle
will be inspected at that time to ensure the light is in
working order. The clerk will note on citation that
lights are working, and judge will review notes and make
his decision.

be provided to court prior to court date. The judge will
review information and make his decision.

in effect on violation date must be provided. The judge
will review information and make his decision. Please be
advised that the judge cannot dismiss insurance
violations if insurance is obtained after citation was
issued.
