I have a 1968 international pickup I bought from Texas. I found a 1968 Texas plate I was going to use to cover a hole in the bottom rear corner of the bed is it legal to display a old out of state plate on a vehicle? Even when you display current plates
answered on Nov 14, 2019
You cannot display an old license plate on your vehicle even if using it to patch holes. You might want to turn it around so it doesn't appear confusing to anyone.

Best is to hire a lawyer, for the cop it is a clerical error not negligence and what in general will happen is that the ticket will just be reissued to your father, but ways around this may exist.
Address noted on ticket requires a Parking Permit which I do not have therefore I will not park there. Would a prosecutor drop the ticket because of this technicality?
answered on Nov 11, 2019
Generally most tickets will not be dismissed because of a clerical error. That being said unless you go to court you will never know.
The parked car was parked in front of another address on same street. Is this ticket valid?

Yes the ticket is valid in general clerical errors will not invalidate a ticket.

You need to call NJ MVC to determine the answer to your question to which even they may not know and you will need to speak to a director.
I got the written warning for talking on the phone while driving. It was in Morristown but I don’t live there I was going to work. Does this go on record? Or do they keep it on internal record?

We would need to see the warning to give you a specific answser, but generally it is a record kept only by the local police department that issued it.

I believe this was a bogus ticket and the real issue was a case of racial profiling. Me, a man from Wyckoff, with two black males in a known drug area. The real facts were a friend I have known for twenty years asked for a ride because he was in a fight and needed help and a ride. I picked up my... View More

If a ticket has a court date it is not a warning. I suggest a lawyer as the penalties for these tickets especially the no insurance ticket is very severe. Unfortunately you are required to show the officer your insurance proof when he arrives at your window, he/she does not need to wait for you... View More
"Every motor vehicle registered in this State which is used over any public road, street, or highway or any public or quasi-public property" it says I have to use the vehicle, but it was parked and not in use.

Yes you can, it is not a violation that requires your car to be moving, only present.
My daughter got a summons and has to appear in court in 2 weeks in South Hackensack, NJ. She was on her lunch break and trying to find a Chipotle. Tapped her GPS on her phone which was affixed to the dashboard, so hands-free. She was coming to a stop at a light when she did this. Not sure if it... View More

The answer is Maybe the law states that you may turn on or off a function are they following so it would depend on what she was doing and what the officer believe that she's doing. If it's a third offense definitely hire a lawyer if it's a 1st or 2nd it's cheaper to pay it
I was trying to avoid 2 points for the speed ticket that was $85. They reduced it to unsafe driving I pleaded guilty for. I ended up paying $439 that included a $250 surcharge. I don’t have any points in the prior 3 years and no ticket. Can the court/prosecutor do this? Just trying to see if I... View More

You pled to a no point violation, but it does include the 250 surcharge. If you appeal, you will.wind up with the points.

You can get the ticket thrown out if you provide a defense what you have said does not amount to a good defense, but you can try.
answered on Oct 7, 2019
Clerical errors on a ticket do not invalidate the ticket get yourself a good lawyer to defend your ticket and find a good defense. Most of us traffic ticket lawyers offer a free in office consultation I suggest that you set one up
answered on Oct 4, 2019
You have not posted the violation you got but an insurance company can charge you for any ticket they want your choice is to take your business elsewhere.
There was nobody in the car or it wasn’t on meaning no keys or nothing

The answer is yes as it would depend on the facts of your case.

If you were given a ticket for not having on your person while driving a vehicle, pleads not guilty, then on your court date, go to court with the driver license and show it to the prosecutor who should reduce the fine
answered on Oct 1, 2019
Yes it could be considered obstruction of view, but that is why we have judges to make that decision.
I was also fine for speeding when am sure not speeding
answered on Oct 1, 2019
You can avoid fine by going to court and winning your case but you have not provided a defense that will win. I suggest hiring a good lawyer.

You are not immune from prosecution just yet. You will need to appear in court and attempt to resolve this summons. Since the car was a rental, the rental service should be able to provide you proof of insurance and registration of the vehicle. This evidence may be shown to the municipal court... View More
