Your question makes no sense. If you were fined, then you owe the money. If you were awarded money, as long as it is less than the amount at which a guardian should be appointed, then you can keep it.

Technically, it should go to a parent or guardian to be used for your needs only. Minor settlements under $10,000 dont have to be approved by a Court in Alabama.

Yes, a minor can be cited for a traffic violation.

You dont receive a fine. The state receives a fine. If you get a settlement (is $200 a settlement? You must not have been hurt.) if you are underage it is normally paid into the court in your name to hold til you are 18. But $200? It wont hardly pay the postage for all the paper work
