If you have been cited for a traffic violation and summoned to court, I suggest that you consult with a traffic court attorney. At a minimum, I think you should appear in court and explain the above to the judge. Just because you settled a civil issue it does not mean that the traffic citation automatically goes away. Good luck with this matter.
