First the officer does not have to allow you to speak or explain your situation, if they do, they do that out of courtesy not a right. Second a lawyer always needs to see what the officer is expected to say before plotting a defense, this is the reason the prosecution goes first in a trial and the... View More

Contact the court in the Connecticut town where you were issued the ticket and if you don't remember then contact NJMVC and they should tell you but if they don't know then your last stop would be CT Motor Vehicle. Good luck!

Best way to avoid points on any ticket is to hire a good lawyer. I don't know what you mean by I just received summary as that is not a legal term.

In general clerical errors are not a defense to a traffic ticket. You need a defense based on the facts of the case. With two tickets I suggest you hire a good lawyer.
