I was just wondering if I need to come back to ny for the court appearance if I will be licensed in California

If you want to fight the ticket yourself you will need to come back for the hearing. If you hire an attorney to fight your ticket you don't have to come to the hearing.
Traffic agent just scaned the registration on windshield and I am owner.

If the traffic ticket was issued to the car, like a parking ticket, you do not receive points on your license.
If you receive a ticket for not having a license, there are no points, but the conviction appears on your driver's license history.
my balance says 0.00 i found my traffic ticket number could it be because 10 years or older it went away
i recently got a speeding ticket (going 70 in a 35). its my first offence but they still gave me 8 points. i plead not guilty and planned to fight it (as it was late at night and its my first offence) but i then realized the officer spelled my name wrong on the ticket. my name is Rivka and he wrote...

Thats a good question. Some judges will dismiss based on that and some will not.

Hi,
It really depends where you received these violations. If they were in the 5 boroughs, the only thing that can be done is pay the fine. If they were from a different court, then it is possible.

Pulled over for speeding, officer let me off but gave me a 3752A saying he couldn't see my headlights. It was 3:15pm with light snow, but my automatic headlights indicated they were on. Seems like an easy not guilty plea, except court is 6 hours away.

This could be a 2 point ticket. Some courts allow you to ask for a reduction by mail. In other cases you will need to send an attorney.
I got a ticket because I made a left turn from the middle line! Doesn’t say at anything that’s I can’t do it! Should I just pay it? How much can be and do I get points?

Could be either 2 or 3 points, depending on what violation code they used.
I was driving a ambulance in a emergency response,had to backup at a scene and the car behind me was so close I could not see itin any of my mirrors. I did minor damage to his car,broken plastic bumber. He also complained of a knee injury. I was stopped,backed up less than a foot.
Court is in Austerlitz NY. Will they let me plead guilty to a lesser charge through Mail or over the phone.

That question cannot be answered without knowing which court the ticket is filed in.
I got pulled over for not having a front license plate and I am going to plead guilty by mail. However,no fine was listed on the ticket itself and it clearly stated that one would be assigned to me. Will this fine come in the mail after I send in my ticket and they review it??

If you plea guilty the judge will pick a fine from a range of possible fines.
Beware, this conviction will be recorded on in New York State DMV driving record system.

not a good idea, even though it is a 0 point violation, it stays on your record for 4 years. Depending on the Court you may be able to reduce it to another 0 point violation that will not appear on your record.
We have a lot of success with these types of violations.

First 4 were for stuff such as no mirror no registration no lights etc. And received fines to pay. They mailed back no insurance and no license saying I had to appear. I don't currently have a license but I'm supposed to have an interlock to drive a car again. Could no license on an... View More

If they can argue that the off road vehicle was a motor vehicle as defined by statute, and you were suspended, the charge could be the crime of aggravated unlicensed operation, a misdemeanor. It would be improper for the court to accept that charge by mail from an unrepresented defendant, but more... View More
I was pulled over for suspended registration. I never had notice from the DMV, or insurance company that my insurance had lapsed. I went down to the DMV the next day and paid the civil fees. I have court tomorrow morning for the ticket. What can I expect? I’m terrified.
answered on Nov 15, 2017
This is a criminal charge. Usually the fact that you fixed the registration issue is not a grounds to dismiss the charge but it is a reason the prosecutor may offer you a plea deal.
to court. Also I was not read my Miranda Rights.
answered on Nov 14, 2017
In New York a fine isn't posted on the ticket. If you plead guilty the judge would need to choose a fine from a range.
Unless you were arrested and quested, the police did not have an obligation to read Miranda.
Basically, I made a bad judgment on turning into a park I was going to. I turned as the light went red, but made a complete stop mid-turn. I was over the line, slightly over the walking lone, but didn't turn fully. I was unfortunate to not only have a cop car next to me, but also a traffic... View More

If there was a traffic camera (as opposed to a security camera) you will receive a fine notice in the mail. That type of ticket does not carry any points nor does it affect your driving record.

The officer has the right to deliver the tickets after the incident.
There is about a 1/4 mile exit ramp called the Harlem River Driveway located between the Harlem River Drive and West 155th Street in Upper Manhattan. I was decelerating up the ramp from the 50mph highway when I was pulled over for doing 46 in a 25. The cop’s radar was pointed at me as I passed... View More

Yes you can use this as a defense. Just to note: in the 5 boroughs all traffic violations go to trial, and therefore, the only possible outcome is either dismissed or guilty.
We do fight a lot a tickets in those areas, and we are careful to explain to the client the only possible outcomes... View More

Not likely. They want to suspend your license, you already appealed and lost.
