What are the tickets for? What was the incident? We need more information to give an answer to your question.

This might be a difficult question to answer - that could be why it remains open. It's a little open-ended, instead of a specific issue, such as right-of-way in a traffic circle. Until you are able to consult with a traffic ticket attorney, another thing to keep in mind is the intellectual... View More 
I got into an accident. I called the police and they tell me my drivers license is suspended due to an uninsured vehicle. I was not aware of this as I have an active insurance policy. I called the insurance company and they told me it was because of a two month gap I had in the middle of the year.... View More

It really depends on your history and the incident. Normally driving with a suspended license for the first time would not result in jail. You need to speak to an attorney.

If you did not have full knowledge of the consequences of your plea at the time you made it. You could hire a lawyer and motion to revoke the plea and attempt to resolve the ticket a different way.

Did you resolve the ticket in 2022? If not, then you have a default. That is what likely caused your suspension. Resolve the ticket and you can get the suspension lifted.
I was stopped last year by officers on my way to work for malfunctioning headlights, and I attempted to fix the issue by purchasing a new bulb, which I was about to install when I realized that the existing bulb simply needed proper screwing. As soon as I secured the existing bulb, it lit up.... View More

If this was only an equipment violation, your license will not likely be suspended. Also you will lose any appeal. Pay the ticket an move on.

If you have a DL issued by NJ, and it is suspended, you cannot drive in NY. You should contact an attorney practicing in this area of law right away. Thank you for using Justia ask a lawyer.

Anything that can obscure vision through the window can be considered illegal. Even an air freshener hanging from your rear view mirror.
Why would they say I need to go in person for a stop sign ticket if I already pled filthy and said I’d pay? Would a lawyer make sure I don’t go to jail?
answered on Jun 29, 2023
It depends on which court the ticket is filed in. Assuming you got this ticket in NYC, they want you to come to court to decide whether to suspend your driver's license for too many points.
Ticket. I thought they made you go to court only if you pled not guilty. Have you ever seen this? Do I have to hire a lawyer now?

Technically you should not have gotten a court date. However if you have priors, or open tickets they can require a hearing. But this might be a blessing. You can negotiate the plea and get a better deal.
During the summer of 2020, I was pulled over in Harlem and issued a summons for 1225-C (2) (A). TVB

If the phone was in your hand, there is a presumption you were using it. You would have to convince the judge/hearing officer that you weren't using the phone.

That usually means that the courtroom has not been assigned yet. Did this happen in Suffolk County, NY?
We hired a lawyer to get rid of our traffic tickets in New York. All 3 of us were guilty of the many tickets and so resolved in suspension of our drivers licenses. We didn’t know this until a police officer told us. This prevented us from continuing to drive , and almost getting arrested. We were... View More

We would probably need more information to determine whether you have a claim or grievance. Try re-posting to the section on "legal malpractice" if there is such a forum on Justia.

Radar detectors are legal in NY except in commercial vehicles. But may not be effective against laser which is mostly used.
I pick up my child from school every day and drive her around to playdates and then classes and then (every other week) to her mother’s place 1 hour away. In Manhattan this is a nightmare as I need to find parking rapidly on the street, multiple times a day.

It could escalate if anyone is interested (after all you are in NYC) and Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument seems applicable, which is an A misdemeanor.
When approaching a residential intersection north to make a right turn, there is a bus on the perpendicular road heading west but is past the intersection. They have their stop signal out. Is it legal to turn right if the bus is already past the intersection (about 10~ feet from it) and the path... View More

I gather you received a ticket for violation of passing a stopped school bus. You have the ticket and so it would be proper to inform the Justia community of the statute cited as violated by you.
In any case, this is not a do-it-yourself project, research, or otherwise. A school bus ticket... View More

With a high speed there are several factors to take into consideration. The most important factor is the court in which the ticket is pending. Please feel free to call me so that I can gather a little more information in order to provide you with a more informed answer.
My car lights got turned off during turn signal and the intersection was so brightly lit that I was unaware of my car lights situation. I would have identified it as I was entering the dark area but the cop stopped me right at that point and called me out of the car to see that lights are off.... View More

You need to answer the ticket by mailing it to the court and pleading not guilty (there is a space on the ticket to do so along with a deadline). Keep a copy before you mail it. A court date will be given to you to plead your case to a Judge. You can higher counsel to do this for you as well.
