But there is not a white line ir a cross line for people to cross ?
answered on May 6, 2020
A stop sign can have a white line it interacts with, but a stop sign does not need a white line to be valid. Take a look at the statute:

This is an 11 point speeding ticket, which means your driver's license can be suspended for this ticket alone. An attorney can likely get get some of the points reduced, so your license does not get suspended.
I got a ticket 2 years ago in the bronx for texting and driving which is 5 points. Than a ticket 2 months later which I didnt plead guilty to for going 21 over the speed limit which is 5 points. My court date is in mid july if I get convicted would it automatically suspend my license. After this... View More

Speeding 21 over the limit is 6 points, not 5. Based on your representation that both of these tickets happened 2 years ago, we are guessing that both tickets were issued in the 5 boroughs of NYC. In that case, the TVB judge will have discretion to suspend your license, or not to suspend your... View More
perfect and an emergency vehicle was approaching in my rearview mirror. Can I challenge the Red light camera ticket, although the emergency vehicle was about 250 feet behind me?
answered on Apr 23, 2020
Can you challenge the ticket? Certainly. Are you saying that you yielded to the emergency vehicle? Was this ticket issued by a police officer, or a camera? Police issued red light tickets are worth 3 points.
Is intent a required element for an improper right turn violation (improper approach such as turn from middle lane? The law in NY (and other states) begins with "The

You are quoting VTL 1160. Turn signals are required by VTL 1163, which does not include intent as an element.

Hard to read the paper you have in your hand without seeing it. Most attorneys will read that letter for you for free, as part of your initial consultation. Send it over to someone by fax or email.
I got a ticket for driving 82 in a 65 with a permit but the officer did not gave me a ticket for that what do u think is the result of that
answered on Apr 12, 2020
In NY, 84/65 is 4 points. Outside of NYS the max fine for a first offense is around $400. If you ignore the ticket your driver's license will be suspended, and the next time you drive you can be arrested.

The NY Governor has temporarily suspended all due dates. Please pay the fine once the court re-opens.
Why don't NYC traffic tickets contain a sworn statement by the ticketing officer that he personally served the ticket? According to Section 150.40(2) of the CPL (NYS) "An appearance ticket, other than one issued for a traffic infraction relating to parking, must be served... View More

The CPL doesn't apply to traffic tickets issued in NYC to the Traffic Violations Bureau. The case proceeds as a administrative proceeding.
I recently was charged with red light violation in NY, Nassau County. I already paid the charge. However, I review my own dash cam and I found conflicting information. I was turning left with a turn signal on green while the straight signal is red. What can I do from here?

I received a citation in NC...90 in a 70 and I live in NY. I can not pay online because 20mph over is a must appear. Is there anything I can do to not travel to NC and pay the fine?

Try re-posting this question under NC, where a NC attorney will see it. Only NY attorneys will see the question posted here.
The violations are all non-moving. We had a lemon vehicle and were unable to afford to fix it (the one he paid off). He went to the courthouse and recieved a new court date for all tickets. Does he risk jail time? We moved at the time of the violations and did not recieve anything in the mail. The... View More

Depends on if he was charged with no registration/inspection, or a fictitious document. Please bring those documents into a lawyer for a free consultation.
I checked the DMV website multiple times, but it still has not shown up. Should i just continue checking every day?
answered on Feb 16, 2020
Give them your email address and check back every 30 days. You have 30 days from when its entered online to file a plea.
. I recently got a summons and I lost it and I can't figure out when/where is my court date because I can't find my summons number. I was wondering if you guys can please help me find when is my court date and at what time. The summons was for a suspended license and registration (I think)
how should I plead and what would happen if I dont plead guilty
answered on Feb 9, 2020
Disobeying a sign is 2 points, which is less than any speeding ticket (3-11). You can still plea not guilty to either:
1. proceed to trial in court, or
2. get a plea deal for a ticket with no points, if available.
It is unlikely (but possible) that the officer will issue a... View More
Can I get a lawyer to fight this ticket or is there some law that allows this.
answered on Feb 6, 2020
Hello again. Yes you can hire a lawyer to fight it, and yes there is a law against filing a ticket outside the jurisdiction where the incident occurred.
answered on Feb 6, 2020
Look at the location on the ticket, and ask the Town Clerk in Collins whether that area is within the Town.
answered on Jan 29, 2020
The judge CAN do whatever the judge wants. A inspection ticket is not a "fix it" ticket, so you are not entitled to dismissal for getting inspection now. Some Judges may dismiss, or set a reduced for due to your current compliance.
answered on Jan 29, 2020
If you ignore a ticket for 9 years, you will remain suspended forever until you take care of the ticket.
I want to take out my license again but how do I start off with when I have multiple tickets and one court from 10 years ago ?
answered on Jan 21, 2020
Depends on the Court. If you are not default convicted, go to each court, pay a suspension termination fee and post bail. You can either work out a plea deal, or set the matter for trial. Some of the officers will be retired.
