I have an "order to appear to show cause if any, why you should not be punished for contempt of court", anyway around this?

Asked over 3 years ago - Provo, UT

I got a ticket in Utah and the lawyer I hired got me a Plea in Abeyance, I got another speeding ticket before the probation period was up and now I have this letter that says I need to appear to show cause of why I should not be punished for contempt of court. What do I do with this? I don't want the ticket on my record and I obviously don't want to got to jail. Any suggestions?
