Q: I got a move over law ticket in Edison. This is my 2nd ticket in over a year. Will I be able to remove these points?
I was not aware of the move over law. However, I did use common sense to try changing lanes, but I was blocked. Again, common sense struck and I slowed down from 65 to 55 in a 65 mph zone. Was I supposed to go slower? When the driver the officers pulled over finished, he came into my lane without using blinkers and I almost crashed into him. It was then when I got pulled over. Unfortunately, I was too shocked and did not explain these two parts to the officer.
Furthermore, I did receive a two point ticket for driving recklessly in the summer of 2016 and was able to get rid of it by appearing in court. Will I be able to do this again with this ticket? I also plan on going in and pleading guilty, is this a good idea?
A: My belief is this is a 2 point ticket. Some opine it is 0. Can never get a straight answer. Anyway unless you have special circumstances like a CDL or you drive for Uber etc. you can negotiate this to O points on your own. You can use an attorney if you are more confortable or if you wish to contest the ticket.
