East Orange, NJ asked in Traffic Tickets for New Jersey

Q: I got a ticket for driving past a police car where no officer was present. Can I contest the ticket?

There was an accident, the tow truck was removing the wreck. I attempted to stop and ask police for direction, no officers were near by so I drove down the block to greet and speak with them. I was ticketed Uber this statute but I would like to contest as no officers were present to provide direction.

A: You can contest any ticket by calling up the court and pleading not guilty to ask and ask for a trial. However I would suggest hiring a lawyer as you have not provided a defense in your question.
