My girlfriend was in the car holding her phone a little higher than usual.. was driving around a circle with tons of cars around.. was pulled into Chick fil a for them to tell me that I was holding my phone in the circle but I find that impossible because that’s more than dangerous.. I’m... Read more »
If you were not holding the phone and your friend was definitely fight this and go to court, just remember to bring your friend with you.
Exceptions apply but generally yes speak to a lawyer and bring your ticket with you.
After an altercation I left in someone's truck, I was pulled over less than a mile away, I was arrested and charged for the altercation, they released me and took me to someone's house, a few days later I received three tickets in the mail for seatbelt, cracked windshield, driving while...

Actually it is very common to get tickets after the fact. For most tickets the police have up to 30 days to send you one and a few tickets like DWI and leaving the scene of an accident have even a longer time line. I suggest hiring a good lawyer.

This has been posted to the New Jersey forum. you will need to ask lawyers in New York.
I had permission to borrow a car about two months ago. The person gave me the key and I brought the car back right away when I was done. Now they are made at me for other reasons and are threatening to press charges on me for the time I borrowed the car out of spite. Can they?
It would be hard for them to prove the case this far out. If they went to the police while the car was gone then they would have a good case. But anyone can file charges the question is can they win. If charged get a good lawyer.
It came about because some towns enacted laws against cell phone use such as Marlboro NJ and this law made it so that the state law would be the controlling law.
I am an 18-year-old New Jersey driver with just one month of having my license. Will PA allow me to plea down the ticket to zero point violation?
You need to ask your insurance company this question. But the Pennsylvania ticket will transfer to New Jersey as two points.

It is a small LED dash bar light with only a white light that has a variety of different strobe patterns that is used merely for photoshoots and car shows as I own a car that I often take to car shows and photoshoots. Can I have it mounted on my windshield (without turning it on) and drive on a... Read more »
You're not allowed to put anything on your front windshield that could obstruct your view even a air freshener is considered to do this so the light would be even worse.

I work for a coffee delivery company where we are provided company vans. I mistakenly drove my van into an interstate where no commercial vehicles are allowed and received 2 tickets. One for driving in a forbidden interstate (Palisades Parkway) and the other for having the company’s advertisement... Read more »
More information would be helpful, but if your employer reported to the police that on that occasion you knowingly disobeyed company policy or instruction, then conceivably you’re personally responsible . You can not rely on the employer to defend you so retain independent counsel right away... Read more »
I don't understand why two tickets were given to me and both of them have similar description.
Generally it's because the passenger is a minor but that's just a guess.
Without being pulled over, and states an officer attempt to pull me over (but never did) but failed in pursuit of another speeding driver. Officer also used Pace to track my speed. Can this be dropped?
In New Jersey an officer does not need to pull you over to give a ticket. Pace is also considered a reliable way to track speed. That being said a good lawyer should be able to help you reduce the points for the tickets that you're facing. I suggest that you set up one of the free in office... Read more »
there are no points for camera tickets
The answer depends on many factors such as do you have any points on your license are you a US citizen or do you drive for a living if so the answer is definitely yes and hire a good lawyer. If you don't fall into any of these categories then maybe it's just worth paying it because of... Read more »
Under NJ state law that is considered jaywalking is my defense of not guilty correct. Thank you, looking forward to your response.
It could be however, I would hire a good lawyer if you want the best chance of winning
I wanted to know
Looks like you wrote the code wrong, but an attorney would need to review the complaint to give you a proper answer.
The answer varies per Court and whether you have a court appearance required but it does come with points so you may want to hire a lawyer to represent you.
I was not driving the vehicle.
Yes but they could probably reissue the ticket so get a good lawyer to make sure you have the best chance of a dismissal.
