How Traffic Tickets Work in Weymouth
A traffic ticket issued in Weymouth is a civil motor vehicle infraction, or CMVI. It is not a criminal charge. CMVIs run through the civil side of the district court system, which means you will not get a criminal record from a standard speeding or cell phone ticket. That said, they can still cost money and affect your insurance if they are surchargeable violations.
You have 20 days from the date on the citation to respond. Three options are available. Pay the fine and admit the violation. Request a clerk-magistrate hearing at Quincy District Court to contest it, which costs $25. Or request a hearing before a judge, which costs $50. If you let the 20-day window close without doing anything, the RMV records the violation on your driving record automatically. No reminder is sent. It just happens.
The clerk-magistrate hearing is worth requesting if you think the ticket was wrong or if the circumstances were unusual. You explain your side, the clerk asks questions, and a decision is made. If the clerk finds you responsible, you can still appeal to a judge. The judge's decision is final for the civil case. Full information on the hearing process is at mass.gov's traffic ticket hearing page.

Fines and Costs for Weymouth Violations
Speeding fines in Massachusetts are set by a state schedule that applies to all cities, including Weymouth. A speed of 1 to 10 mph over the limit is a $50 fine. Going 11 mph or more over the limit costs $50 plus $10 for every additional mph. Every speeding ticket also comes with a $50 Head Injury Assessment surcharge added on top. So a ticket for going 15 mph over would cost at least $90 in base fines plus the $50 surcharge, totaling $140 before any court fees.
Cell phone violations are surchargeable under Massachusetts law. The Hands-Free Law prohibits holding or using a mobile device while driving. A first violation is $100. A second is $250. Any subsequent offense is $500. All three count as surchargeable incidents, meaning your auto insurance rate can increase. See mass.gov's list of surchargeable incidents for the full breakdown.
Too many speeding tickets in a short time can cost you your license. Three speeding violations within 12 months triggers a 30-day suspension under MGL c. 90, section 20. For drivers who keep piling up violations, the RMV can impose a four-year habitual offender suspension under MGL c. 90, section 22F. More on how these suspensions work is at mass.gov's suspension page.
Weymouth Police Department
The Weymouth Police Department handles traffic enforcement within city limits. State Police also patrol Route 3 and other state roads that pass through the area. Tickets from either agency end up at Quincy District Court through the same CMVI process.
| Department | Weymouth Police Department |
|---|---|
| Address | 1 Union Street Weymouth, MA 02190 |
| Non-Emergency | (781) 331-1212 |
For crash reports or questions about who issued your ticket, call the Weymouth PD records division. For anything related to the court case itself, reach out to Quincy District Court. The court handles the civil process once the ticket is filed in the system.
Paying a Weymouth Traffic Ticket
You can pay a Weymouth traffic ticket online through the Massachusetts courts' payment system. Visit mass.gov's payment guide for directions to the online portal. You will need your citation number and basic personal information. Online payment is available around the clock and is usually the quickest way to close out a ticket.
In-person payments go to Quincy District Court at 1 Dennis Ryan Parkway in Quincy. The clerk's window is open weekdays until 4:30 PM. You can also mail a check or money order. Do not send cash in the mail. Once payment is processed, the ticket is recorded as an admitted violation on your driving record.
Think carefully before you pay. Paying admits the violation. If the ticket is surchargeable, your insurer can raise your rate at your next renewal. Review your options at mass.gov's traffic ticket overview before making a decision.
