Where
a defendant cited for a traffic violation posts a cash bond according to the
schedule set up by court order and fails to appear in court at the term of court
and on the day set in the original citation and complaint, then and in that
event, such failure shall be construed as an admission of guilt and the cash
bond may be forfeited without the necessity for the statutory procedure provided
for the forfeiture of statutory bail bonds. A judgment of guilty may be entered
accordingly, ordering the case disposed of and settled. The proceeds of the cash
bond shall be applied and distributed as any fine imposed by said court would
be. Nothing in this Code section shall be construed as preventing the judge from
ordering the defendant to appear and stand trial.
