I am an out of state driver and need more time to get home and be able to respond.
answered on May 22, 2023
There is no nationwide rule as to how much time you have to respond to a moving violation. You don't have to go home, you have to go to court in New Jersey to respond. Google a traffic ticket attorney in New Jersey for assistance.
Military cop pulled me over idk if that matters
answered on May 22, 2023
Yes, the Federal Government also has traffic cops. They have a schedule of fines for traffic offenses. Can you get out of it? Maybe, hire a military lawyer, ask for a reduction, pay the fine.

If this causes concern, then it seems to be a good idea to fight it in court. Along the way, you... View More

Yes they can charge you even up to a year later for criminal cases in Municipal Court. That being said I would suggest hiring a lawyer you may have a defense in this case. Most of us criminal lawyers offer a free in office consultation, I would suggest that you set one up.

For many courts, they will only send court notices and other information to the address that NJ MVC has on record for you. So you need to update it with them that may be your problem.
I received a suspension which will begin on December 22nd for 110 days, but another suspension is set to begin for 150 days on January 1st, 2023. Does this mean they will happen at the same time?
answered on Dec 16, 2022
The best party to answer this question is either the court you got the suspensions in, the MVC or your lawyer who handled your suspension case as we do not know enough information to properly answer your question.

You can try to go to court and fight the ticket but many judges will consider the apron part of the driveway and thus you blocked it.

Its not an ordinance its a state statute. As for how to dispute the ticket the best way is to send a letter to the court saying that your disputing the ticket and wish to plead not guilty. Then the court will setup a trial date to present your defense.

The answer depends on your towns rules and parking regulations as they do vary by town. But many towns do not allow this type of parking. Thus I suggest you have your car towed immediately to avoid a ticket.
I was regrettably doing 88mph in a 35mph school zone. Honest to God I didn't know I was in a school zone I thought the speed limit was 50 either way I was late for work and speeding.

You can't still receive a ticket as you would be past the statute of limitations, but it sounds like you may already have had one. I would hire an attorney to research this and see if any tickets arose out of the situation to make sure you don't have a warrant for your arrest for not... View More
