    I can almost guarantee your probation conditions TELL YOU the answer to this. The standard conditions typically state that any arrest or charge needs to be reported in 48 hours. That's from the time you're given the ticket, not after you go to trial, not next month when you have an appoitment, not if you don't pay the fine. NOW.

    Yes they COULD revoke your probation over failure to comply with conditions? Will they? Who knows. Your chances are MUCH better if you FESS up to your probation officer before they find out for themselves. A traffic offense isn't a big thing (even though that in itself is a violation of your probation). Failing to report it and evading your other conditions of probation IS.
