Eli Moore

answered on May 4, 2020

This is an 11 point violation and if convicted of this speed you will face mandatory license suspension. You should definitely hire an attorney who can negotiate a reduction of the speed.

You should also complete a defensive driving course which will give you an automatic 4 point reduction.

Q: I got a ticket in staten island.

I have rescheduled it twice already. How many times am i allowed to reschedule my court date?

Eli Moore
Eli Moore
answered on Feb 27, 2020

You can try to reschedule a third time. It would be up to the Judge and you would have to post a $40 bond.

Most Judges will not reschedule if the ticket is more than 2 years old.

Q: Hi, I was pulled over tonight for speeding, and the cop said he cut me a break by giving me a disobeying traffic device

how should I plead and what would happen if I dont plead guilty

Eli Moore
Eli Moore
answered on Feb 10, 2020

The officer did give you a break as this is only a 2 point violation whereas speeding violations are 3 points and up depending on the speed. Also, a non-speeding ticket is better for insurance purposes.

You can still plead not guilty and fight the ticket

Failure to signal is a 2 point violation. I would recommend pleading not guilty. You will receive a conference date at which time you should try to get a reduction to a non-moving, no point violation. It is also possible to get the second ticket dismissed as covered by the plea
