My friend was driving without a license and given a ticket. I’m assuming she also got a court date but she missed it and never received anything in the mail because she moved to a new address.

A good lawyer can help your friend by turning her into the court and thus keeping here most likely out of jail on the warrant, then a new court date will be set.

Failure to change lanes 39:4-92.2 which should be the violation your charged with has 2 points. I suggest hiring a lawyer to try to get these points reduced.

Failure to yield to an emergency vehicle in NJ is a 2 point ticket with an up to $200.00 fine. If you want to get rid of the points, I would suggest a hiring a good lawyer.

Given that you were pulled over and informed of the outstanding warrant (by a cop), it's presumed that you were arrested and posted a bond when released. You will want to contact the local court (most likely a municipal court if NJ) for a new court date. You WILL need to take care of this... View More

So this ticket is not for the car not having insurance, but for the driver being unable to display insurance information at the time of the stop. Therefore it is not so clean cut. An attorney can always help make sure you are not being taken advantage of in traffic Court. If their is a way to get... View More

No its not unusal to get more than one ticket if you performed more than one violation of the law. Thus you can be speeding and get a ticket for unsafe lane change and careless driviing at the same time. Now for your case the 2 careless driving tickets is a little circumspect but again we would...

The pedestrian was not in or near the crosswalk as I turned. They stepped in as I turned, and it was too late for me to stop; otherwise, I would have been in the middle of the crosswalk. I was alone in my car. Can I fight this ticket?
answered on Dec 20, 2024
Yes you can fight this ticket, but I would definitely suggest a good lawyer as these are hard tickets to fight. Unfortunately the fact that the person stepped in the crosswalk meant that you needed to immediately stop and yield to the pedestrian.

Your guess is as good as mine on whether you will get a ticket in the mail as the cop has up to 30 days to write up a ticket for speeding. If you do get one hire one of us Attorneys to have the best chance to eliminate the points for you.

Yes the ticket is legal you may be able to fight it but it would probably be considered a clerical error at best. Get yourself a good lawyer most of us offer free in office consultations and we should be able to help you get the result you want. Just make sure you get a good lawyer.
