    Default Change of Venue For a Ticket

    I know that the general rule of thumb is that you can't request a change of venue for a mere traffic ticket.

    However, someone mentioned that you can if it's within a county. In my case, I just want to move my appointment at the Northern San Diego Court to the Central San Diego Court.

    I was just wondering if someone can verify weather this is actually possible. Thanks a lot!

    Just a rumor but I heard doing such a thing is dang near impossible in California.

    Stand by for a Californian.

    When you were issued the citation, you could have asked that the case be heard in the court (within the county) that's either closer to where you live or where you work.

    My understanding is that once the citation has been issued and filed, there is little chance they'll allow the change...but you could certainly try!
