I got 2 tickets in Woodbury, NY, one for going 63 in a 30 zone, and another for speeding unresponsible and prudent. But I noticed a totally wrong licence plate number on both ticket as well as on the supporting deposition.
Will that help with anything?
answered on Feb 7, 2024
Where are the tickets returnable at? If the license plate is off by a digit or two, that probably will not make much of a difference if the rest of the information on the ticket is correct. The cop gave you 2 separate speeding tickets? Call an attorney for a consult.

Sounds like you failed to answer the ticket. That is most likely why your license is suspended. Go to the courthouse that the ticket was returnable at to take care of the ticket and get the suspension lifted ASAP

I received a ticket in NYC for driving "22 above speed limit" but I moved outside of NY state and have a new license in a different state. If found guilty, do the points transfer?
answered on Mar 4, 2023
If you moved outside of the NY tri-state area, the points should NOT transfer. But, you should not just plead guilty to the ticket because your insurance rates can still go up. Where did you get the ticket and when is the hearing date? Call me at 516 766 1878 to discuss further.

Where did this occur and what courthouse is the ticket returnable to? Call me at 516 766 1878 to discuss further.
