A “citation” usually implies some penalty is already in place. If I receive a “citation” driving, I can expect to either pay a fine or appear in court.
If it’s just a notice to fix things... what’s the time frame? Can they find a contractor? Have they gotten an insurance claim filed first?
I’d like to see someone from the country appear and explain.
Depends on what the citation is for. Around here, if it’s for something mechanical, such as a burned out headlight, the citation is dismissed upon showing proof of repair within a week (maybe longer - I’m not sure).
This is a similar situation.
