The Times 16 1WR Traffic violators face stiff er penalty for ignoring tickets iffy "It amazes some people when the state tells them their license is being suspended," Kelly told reporters. So far this year, Shreveport City Court has had to inform the state of 2,297 drivers who haven't paid tickets or shown up in court to contest the citations. "We attempt to contact the person and notify them," Kelly said. "But if we cannot find them or they do not respond, we issue an affidavit to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety. "The department then notifies the motorist of the suspension of his driver's license and fee." Because of a backlog, some people don't get timely state notices.

Instead they learn their license is suspended when they seek to get it renewed. Why don't people just pay up on time? "Some people are scofflaws, I suppose, and then some people are By LARRY BURTON The Timet Shreveport City Judge Bill Kelly conceded his news conference Friday might have achieved twin goals. The official purpose: to inform the public of stif er penalties for ignoring traffic tickets. The sweetener: It gave Kelly some nice exposure in his race for state appeals court. He chuckled when asked if the news conference's timing had anything to do with the Oct.

1 election, for which he qualified Thursday. The conference drew TV and newspaper reporters to Kelly's chambers. "I think the press conference is providing information that the people need to know. But it doesn't hurt to get your face on TV," observed Kelly, a candidate for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeal. "It is an opportunity to get on TV," he continued, laughing.

Political considerations aside, Kelly had this message: Effective Aug. 1, traffic violators who don't pay their ticket or appear in court face a suspended license and $100 license-renewal fee. Currently, Louisiana motorists ignoring tickets face $50 to have their license renewed or reissued. That's on top of the cost of the ticket. DEATHS Bossier Parish Bramlett, Lawrence H.
