In answer to your questions:

2. You should mail the ticket back to the court pleading not guilty. Put down your current address in the plea box (Section B). That is the address the court will... View More
I got the speeding ticket in weschester county. There's a court date on it. Do I need to go and what should I do, plead guilty or not guilty? Since i'm switching my license to Connecticut in a couple weeks will it affect it? Also will points get transfered over?
answered on Oct 20, 2020
You should plead not guilty as all speeding tickets in New York State carry points. Even though you are switching to a Connecticut license, the points would stay on your record in New York for 18 months. If you reach 11 points or 3 speeding convictions within 18 months your privilege to drive in... View More
I intend to plead guilty but wanted to explain how this happened. I was in a small convenience store parking lot and someone parked very close to me. I was trying to navigate around him and when I turned the wheel, I backed into an old gas pump. I did no damage to my car, but when I hit the... View More

You should plead not guilty and request a conference where you can try to get a reduction to a non-moving, no point violation.
Unsafe Backing is a 2 point violation
answered on Jun 21, 2020
This is a 5 point violation. If you are found guilty the points will remain on your record in New York for 18 months from the date of violation. If you reach 11 points within 18 months your driving privileges in New York will be suspended.
This conviction will probably not be reported to Georgia
I was insured, but forgot my ID card. Can I get the 0319 01u dismissed?
Can I face jail time?
I forgot to answer the summons but rectified before my license was suspended.
answered on Jun 17, 2020
Dismissal depends upon the jurisdiction. You should plead not guilty and request a hearing at which time you should produce proof of valid insurance at the time of the stop.
You are not facing jail tme
I got a speeding ticket going 36 on a 25 from a speeding camera in NYC, and I'm from Missouri. If I pay this ticket will I get points on my license, making my insurance rate go up?
answered on Jun 11, 2020
There are no points associated with a speeding camera tickets. Pleading guilty to this ticket will not impact your driving record or cause your insurance to increase

Unfortunately, you cannot negotiate fines and penalties in New York City. You must clear up the outstanding tickets in order to get your license back.

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.
I have rescheduled it twice already. How many times am i allowed to reschedule my court date?
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.
I was in Indiana on a contract job at the time of these violations. I can get proof from my employer and the hotel I was staying at.

Was someone else driving your car? As the registered owner you are responsible for any unpaid tolls even if you were not the driver
answered on Feb 18, 2020
It depends where you received the ticket. Within the 5 boroughs hearings are scheduled for set times; 8:30, 10:30, 1:00, 2:30 and 4:30. You must appear within one hour of the scheduled time.
Outside the city, most appearances will be for 9:00 or 9:30, but court will be usually be in... View More
how should I plead and what would happen if I dont plead guilty
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
I received a violation for using a cell phone, in White plains,ny, while adjusting the volume on my blue tooth hearing aid. (I was holding the iphone in my hand to do this).
When making calls the iPhone sits on the seat next to me as my hearing aids make the call(s) hands free.
answered on Jan 12, 2020
It is a violation to hold the phone while driving. even though you were not on a call.
You should plead not guilty and request a conference where you will meet with a member of the White Plains Police Department. This is a 5 point violation but should be reduced to 2 points if you have a... View More
He also gave me a ticket for Stopping on the highway. He said he didnt like where i pulled over at took my license and made me get off the next exit. Is this points on your license? Worth fighting in court?
Yonkers court.
answered on Jan 8, 2020
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
Is there such a thing as auto dismiss if ticket is more than 18 months old
answered on Dec 29, 2019
No dismissal as speedy trial does not apply to traffic infractions.
However, once 18 months have passed from the date of the ticket the points will no longer appear on your DMV record
answered on Dec 16, 2019
Unfortunately, there is no statute of limitations regarding traffic tickets
