This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
Here's a plain English summary:
These rules apply to traffic tickets that are treated as civil matters, not criminal charges. If you get a traffic citation that falls into this category, this set of rules is what controls how your case moves through the court.
This means the process, deadlines, and procedures you'll deal with come from these specific rules, rather than the rules used for criminal cases or other types of civil lawsuits. Knowing that your case falls under these rules helps you understand what to expect and where to look for answers about your specific situation.
