Q: hello there, i got seat belt violation in NYC but i received two different tickets!
I got pulled over last week in NYC for seat belt violation the officer printed one ticket and few days later i went online to plea and pay it but i saw two same tickets for same violation and i also received them by mail, that should definitely be an error by dmv, what should i do about it? thanks!
A: Seat belt violations in NY can be tricky. If the duplicate tickets are indeed 2 sets of the same ticket (same summons#, same violation sections, same locations, same officer, same issuance time), then there is a chance that they were issued in error, but if not, there maybe a legitimate reason you got two independent tickets for the same offense, depending on the circumstances.
