This is only the second ticket ever received in 30 years of driving.

If you mean a 1202 (a) 2 (no parking) that is an excellent offer. The charge is a 6 point violation and the plea would be to a no point violation. Can't get better really. Take it.
I was pulled over and received two violations for making an illegal U-turn and failure to signal (I did in fact signal). The officer indicated an intersection in the ticket which is not correct, it is one block short of an actual place of occurence. The cruiser footage would be proof to show the... Read more »
Its been 9 months already my hearing is in 3 months and I'm no longer probationary would my license still get suspended if I change to a guilty plea or if I am found guilty?
answered on Jul 27, 2022
Yes you will still get suspended, because the DMV looks back at the status of your license at the date of violation.
Tickets: (1144-AA) and (31 over in a 55 MPH zone)
These both equal 10 points (if I am correct)

If you are being charged with reckless driving the answer is yes. If it is simply the two traffic infractions than probably not. Seek a local traffic attorney who knows the jurisdiction.
at Hamburg Beach in Hamburg NY I have been given a town of Hamburg police warning to not ride my one wheel at Hamburg Beach based on local law that said by a Hamburg police officer property is private public property that if a complaint is made Hamburg police will enforce. if not familiar what a...

The picture in the notice I got in the mail is of a different vehicle. It is of a silver or gray GMC and I have a black Nissan rogue. The picture was in broad daylight. You can't even tell the license plate number. It's too blurry.
You couldn't even barely read the license plate number in the picture. Basically a guesstimate on their part.
I just concluded a defensive driver course for insurance purposes
Do you think I should plead guilty and use my defensive driving course point waver to clear the point or continue to plead not guilty/get a lawyer to plead my case
answered on Jun 9, 2022
It depends on various factors including where the alleged offense happened, where your case will be heard, whether you have a valid "legally sufficient" defense, etc. Your moving violation can also be amended to a non-moving offense by way of plea negotiation in certain forums. You can... Read more »

For parking tickets, the named defendant is the vehicle, not a person.
My husband got a traffic ticket in the morning while dropping our son to school. He passed a school bus (failed to notice) stopped in the opposite direction. He was going to drop off our son to school early. The incident happened right after he backed out from our driveway. It was a chaotic... Read more »

Under VTL 1174, a driver must stop for a school bus picking up or discharging passengers. It's a straight forward statute with no consideration of the driver's intent. Your personal necessity (of getting to school early) or other factors (such as a bad weather, "everybody was passing... Read more »

In NY, your junior license holder will be suspended for 60 days if you commit a serious traffic violation. A serious traffic violation usually means a violation with 3 or more points. In NY, a speeding offense, if convicted, carries 3 points if your speed was 1-10mph over the speed limit. Yes,... Read more »

The driver gets a ticket for driving an unregistered vehicle.

Most likely yes, depending on the circumstances. You, however, may want to carefully and thoroughly analyze all the information on the tickets for any facial defect for dismissal.
I got a camera fine for passing a school bus as the lights came out. But the bus stopped in a no stopping zone. And I wouldve had to slam on my breaks to maybe catch the bus.
answered on Feb 23, 2022
In NYS, you are most likely required to stop whenever a school bus is stopping on a public highway, street or private road for the purpose of picking up or discharging passengers and one red signal lamp is flashing.
I got a plea bargain letter that could convert the speeding ticket to VTL 1110A Disobeyed Traffic Control Device w/$150 fine. But I may still get 3 points.
answered on Feb 9, 2022
Assuming that you have a NY license, yes, 1110A will put "2" points on your license. If the original speeding is 70 in 65, 1110A may seem a little bit unreasonable, but it depends on the circumstances surrounding your case and policy and personality of the town/village and/or the... Read more »
Car slide on ice and hit a pole. No drinking involved. Called AAA, they said they’d arrive shortly. It was cold and my husband had a cut on hand, not severe.

First, your husband didn't get a summons for DWI, which is a relieving thing (even if there is no way for him to get convicted of that). FYI, Red eye, bloodshot and watery eyes, slurred speech, etc. are not necessary indicia of being under influence.
Keep in mind that the People... Read more »
Will this affect me getting a license, i have a road test next month, and i don’t want this to affect me in any way. Also, is there any way my parents will find out ?
answered on Feb 1, 2022
Any moving violation (defined broadly) while on probation or within the first 6 months of your license will result in a suspension of your license. You need to plea bargain the ticket or have it dismissed on motion.
Good Luck
I got two tickets in January of 2019. Seatbelt and speeding (speed in zone 11-30, 4 points). I initially filed a written response in lieu of appearance. Court has adjourned it on its own (I never requested adjournment) 4 times. They just recently adjourned it to July 2022. Is it possible to get it... Read more »

No. TVB is an administrative court and the speedy trial defense doesn't apply to your traffic matters in TVB. The court is authorized to administratively change your court dates.
It was dark night and was never caught and home in bed when they brought me to station to “pick up my wallet “ my girlfriend had reported the car stolen and I was home in bed.
