Q: 2/11/19: got a ticket in Mercer Co., NJ for driving without a license (it had expired 3 days prior on 2/8/19)

Probably not to drop the case, but you can probably get the Prosecutor to lower the charge to a basic failure to have in possession which is just a small fine

For a First Offense you face the loss of your license for one year, community service to be determined by the court and a fine between $300.00 and $1,000.00. I suggest setting up one of the free in office consultations that most of us lawyers offer and then hire one.

The answer depends on whether a defense can be found if yes then you can avoid jail if no then still maybe it depends on the judge, the court that you're in and how good of a lawyer you have. Jail is technically mandatory for all second and third offenses and up.

You would get an unlicensed driver ticket ticket which could lead to up to 60 days jail and 6 months loss of license when eligible to drive and a fine and is not good when it comes to USCIS.

Q: How likely would it be for me to fight 39:4-135 and win if the ticket was issued on a private road?

This ticket was issued outside of my apartment on a road that is clearly marked with a sign about a 100 feet from my car saying "PRIVATE ROAD NO THRU TRAFFIC". I believe I am being charged with parking with my car facing oncoming traffic (left side of the road)

Generally, insurance companies raise rates between $100 to $200 per point for three years and this is a two point offense. It stays on your record in perpetuity.

The officer just needs probable cause which is basically suspicion that you delayed traffic to write you the ticket which is a low standard so far as the courts are concerned.

You can also hire a lawyer to do most of this for you, but you will still need to appear in court. FYI most people who come to my office feel that the tickets they received were an injustice, so...
