Violations of these regulations can vary in terms of impact on your driving record and insurance rates, depending on the severity of the violation and the specific circumstances.

I thought you couldn’t appeal the ticket but I still got a court date.
answered on May 24, 2023
Usually what has happened to you is that the money you paid is considered posting bail until you enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. In Law, an "Appeal" is a special term that means taking a case to a higher court after you have a judgment rendered against you. If you didn't... View More

Chances are you will end up better off with an attorney. You are charged with criminal motor vehicle ofenses, as indicated on the citation. Be sure to keep a copy of the citation and send it in for a hearing within the times designated on the ticket. Do it sooner than later, so a blizzard doesnt... View More
Unbeknownst to me, my brother was driving without a license and used my name instead of his own because he has warrants. I wasnt there and never agreed he could do that nor do i support it now. He never told me or payed for the citation and it was defaulted on. i got a letter saying my license is... View More

Well, there is a possible path to undo it but it will take time, determination and some frustration to unravel.
One aspect will be whether you want to point the finger at your brother to undo it, and proving that it was him. IF you locate the date and time of citation, you may be able to... View More
The citation has no info other then the date it happened and the date it was defaulted on. The thing is I've never been pulled over or sent anything in the mail. so i suspect someone used my name in a traffic stop. But since the citation is defaulted i cant request a hearing. I have no idea... View More

The first thing you should do is go online to the MA RMV and get a copy of your driving record.
https://www.mass.gov/how-to/request-a-driving-record It should list the Court and default and a citation number. When You call the Court, ask for a copy of the ticket, and explain you have... View More
I was in a car accident last year my insurance company considered my car totaled and I canceled the plates in April of last year before they took it. They had messed up when the tow company was coming so my plates were still in my car and I told the insurance guy I just needed an hour before... View More

Unfortunately I suggest you obtain the services of a New York attorney experienced in this type of law because you are going to have to convince a judge that you are not responsible for the tickets based on your circumstances described above. You can also keep attempting to dispute the tickets... View More

Yes- they sure can, and I even had a situation once where the dashcam of a motor vehicle behind my client's car was sent to State Police and they suspended a license right away under the 'lives and safety' emergency suspensions. However, issuing it doesnt mean you don't have a... View More
State Trooper didn't show up to either hearing and was dismissed by judge at second hearing. This was 2 years ago.
answered on May 29, 2021
Most likely it was communicated wrong from the Court or someone else possibly used your name/ID and had another ticket. It is possible that you didn't pay the appeal fee as well and that is what is owed. If you defaulted on a speeding ticket your license would not be renewed until it was... View More
On a tiny private road only 15-20 feet wide, my neighbors (before my home) have been using it as a parking lot. It's not impassible, but it makes life difficult as we can't see down the street from our driveway due to the blockage, and now the kids have this reduced view when riding their... View More

If it is a private way it would seem that it should be unobstructed for use in that way.
You should have your deed reviewed and your title insurance potentially might cover litigation to stop the parking or you will need to engage counsel.
I have just received a letter stating that I have to appear in court for driving with a suspended license( which I did not know was suspended) I was stopped by an officer he took my license and he was the one to inform me that my license was suspended; and I informed him that I was unaware of it. I... View More

Typically the RMV sends the suspension notice to the license address on file. If you moved and failed to change the address, that is why you may not have been notified. Three (3) speeding tix in 2 years or any 5 moving offenses result in suspension. If you are lucky you are getting a Notice for... View More
I pled not guiilty to a speeding ticket in NY 12 years ago. Not NYC.
On the date i was assigned for court, a snow storm occurred. They never rescheduled my court date to my knowledge. I moved out of NY a few years after.
I reside in MA now. TWELVE YEARS later, they sent a court date... View More

DEAL WITH THE TICKET. No good will come of anything else. MA has reciprocity so the outcome there will impact you here. MOST of the NY courts are closed due to covid depending on the Court or the hearing date. You want a NY lawyer in that county jurisdiction or to use google and find the path.... View More
Was pulled over by state police and the office
told me that i will get a ticket via mail. Is that normal
now due to the covid-19?
answered on Oct 31, 2020
That is not at all normal, and may work to help you. SAVE the envelope it coms in, as MA statue ch. 90c sec 2 requires them to issue it in hand at the time and place of violation and if not it can be dismissed. There are few exceptions and you don't say what you were stopped for. Save a copy... View More
The question says it all. 23-Year-old goofball went on a cross country trip and got 3 speeding tickets, paid them all late. We are terrified that the punishment from Mass will be harsh. What awaits us? Do we need a lawyer?
answered on Oct 19, 2020
Your son will have his license suspended for 30 days once MA receives all the tickets. See https://www.mass.gov/info-details/suspensions-from-multiple-offenses#3-speeding-tickets-
There is no hardship license or ability to drive at all during that suspension. This will impact SDIP points... View More
I got pulled over about 5 months ago for speeding and I still havnt received a date for a court hearing. My car registration just expired and I need to renew it. Will I be able to renew it while waiting for the court hearing or will the ticket prevent me from renewing the registration?
answered on Sep 24, 2020
You can absolutely register the car!! The pending speeding ticket will not prevent this. Many ticket hearings are backed up due to Covid. Be sure you sent it in on time, kept a copy of the ticket, and know what court to call if you dont hear from anyone within the month. You should have heard from... View More
The person has previous felony convictions
answered on Sep 7, 2020
WHether you can is very different from whether you will. That is, the maximum pubishment for many motor vehicle violations or district court cases might be 2 1/2 years. However, that is not at all what a person might be likely to get. It might depend on the record, whether the person is on... View More
I wanted dismissed if possible, but i'm not sure if it's worth it. I was at fault so what would i say in court? I was driving and passed a red light that changed just before i past it. is the officer telling me that he's not going to appear in court? i've had my license only for... View More

APPEAL THE TICKET!! There are a number of very important reassons to take the appeal. First, you are under the age of 25 and in the age bracket where there can be larger SDIP points assessed or possible surcharges on a policy. Second, if you have 3 speeding tickets or 5 overall moving violations... View More
The ticket was back on September 4th 2015 from Connecticut. Massachusetts posted it on my record on February 20th 2020. Never was on my record till then. How is that legal?

For the past year the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles has been entering out of state infractions that were not transmitted to the state electronically. Connecticut likely sent mail to the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles but it never got opened. As the keeper of your driving... View More
They found a license plate on the side of the road and they want to display it in their room. Again, my friend isn't going to drive with it, they just want to use it as a decoration. I'm in Massachusetts if that's any help. (02191 is my zip)

Finder's keepers, loser's weepers. The law is clear from Missouri to Massachusetts, Texas to Tennessee,
No, your "friend" has no duty to turn it in.
answered on Mar 18, 2020
There isnt really a question here. However if you appeal the ticket and go to the clerk's hearing there is a decent chance they will give you a break if you havent had any driving infractions before, on the distracted driving aspect. However, there can be some complications with insurance... View More
