Yes you can get the ticket but the state would have to prove either you operated it or intended to operate it.
To be clear, I did not receive a ticket for both. However, the officer explained that I receiving the ticket for failure to keep right and the statue cited was 39:4-88a. I was wondering if that is appropriate because I thought it was covered under 39:4-82. Thank you!

One is failure to keep right, the other one can be failure to keep right or left and is generally given to a person who is drifting in and out of lanes or on the lines. Definitely get a lawyer if you have been charged with both.

In NJ, police officers generally give you the ticket immediately; no tickets are mailed.
If you misplaced your copy of the ticket, contact the municipal court in which the violation took place, and ask them for a copy of the ticket. You don't want to risk a warrant or license... View More 
borrowing a friend's vehicle which had a broken side mirror , was pulled over for the said broken mirror, the officer noted the vehicle was missing a inspection sticker . the driver is not the owner of the vehicle

Both can get the ticket as you are responsible as the driver to make sure you are driving an inspected car and the owners is required to make sure it is inspected.

I would suggest that you call a local attorney. The fine for unlicensed operation can be as high as $500, and may also carry jail time. The cell phone violation carries a fine of $200 - $400.
Many attorneys offer free or reduced fee initial consultations.

The ticket also says I can dispute it within 7 days of my court date but the ticket was issued on 9/7/17 and the court date is on 9/14/17. Can I dispute this and is this even legal based on the time in between when the ticket was issued and the when the court date is set?

The sign is good for the whole block and some judges say even more. The amount of time they gave you is not a reason to dismiss the ticket, but it would probably give you a good argument for an adjournment. For a better defense hire a lawyer, but the cost will be several times the cost of the... View More
Should I go to the court and ask me judge to dismiss the ticket, or should I just pay it.
Thanks

If you have replaced the bulb, I would recommend saving the receipt from the purchase of the bulb and show that to the prosecutor who might then dismiss same. Also get a picture with the date and time on it showing your brake lights work now
because i couldnt see it on the ticket the clerk said the have not recieved the ticket..i was wondering can they drop the ticket down to no points
answered on Sep 5, 2017
It is possible. Be advised that a No Point Ticket in NJ could run you $400.00. If you have no points to date on your license, if you cant get a cheaper No Points Ticket, you may want to call the insurance company first and see how much it will increase your rates, and then take the defensive...

The car isn't abanded he just hasn't had the money to fix it. What can he bring to court to prove his car isn't abanded
answered on Aug 30, 2017
Most towns consider a car abandoned if it 1) stays on the street too long and has not been moved (time varies by town) 2) is in the street in disrepair or 3) does not have a valid registration, inspection sticker or license tags.

Yes you can make a turn if your car is working properly, but under the law you will be subject to getting a ticket, as your prohibited from crossing a solid double yellow line.
We don't want to get in trouble so we need to know if it is ok to show it to the prosecutor the card in the pre-trial talk where they often lower the points.

Maybe what the prosecutor will do is anyone's guess but with a lawyer you increase the odds.
Since April....I'm not sure, but maybe speeding tickets...Do u just walk in to the court to try to resolve it now..Missed court appearance...Was on payment plan but lost job....Now what happens?
answered on Aug 21, 2017
You probably have a warrant for your arrest at this point in time so if you go to the court bring with you a lot of cash. I suggest a lawyer to help you with this.
Two of the tickets were speeding

More information is needed but it sounds like you would have a mandatory appearance in court.

Yes you can write a letter but he should go to court and explain it himself.

Did you pay any of those ? Did you resolve any of those. To reduce points take a defensive driver course.
Never came up on my record until I tried to get my licence. Call the court. They told me they never issued a new court date. Just sent it to DMV to keep me suspended. Go to this court Thursday. What are my options?
answered on Aug 3, 2017
Your best option is to hire a good lawyer because you're facing possible jail and loss of your license privileges. In general of Court will not issue a new court date if you missed one.
Or maybe even thrown out

Anything is always possible as a lawyer we must say that the question is it probable and the answer is no. if you want to have the best chance of getting your ticket dismissed get a lawyer.
