Do I have chances in court justifing hiring traffic lawyer?
There were no lines visible due to repavement and I was turning kind of along with the other car that was let go and one was turning behind me still ( ticketed as well). Pedestrians were two lines away possibly setting feet on... Read more »
The question is not whether the pedestrians had the light: if the pedestrians were in the crosswalk, you were required to yield.
Even if you were technically guilty, you might win at trial. Even if you were not guilty, the officer's story might be different when he testifies at trial.
I have 4 tickets that occurred in 2016. 3 of them i was found guilty and recieved 9 points. This last ticket the date is coming up(3points). I was wondering i took a Defensive Driving course in May 2019. Will it count to help reduce my points if my license was to get suspended.
Usually the answer is no: the class helps for ticket received/issued 18 months prior to the date of the course.
In your case, I am assuming that your ticket is filed somewhere in NYC, where the Judges (ALJs) have discretion to look at the points differently, and can take into consideration... Read more »
We are a business. All of my trucks and vans have commercial plates as they should. I have a few passenger cars that have lettering.. These cars are driven by my sales staff. We got a violation that we need commercial plates because we have lettering on these vehicles. When we call the DMV, they... Read more »
Now you fight the tickets. You can appear in court yourself, or hire a lawyer to argue the case for you.
section 1214. What would it be in "violation of?" Do I just write opening door in traffic under section 1214?
No idea what form you are reading. Please post again with the name of the form you are filling out, and the court you are dealing with.
I forgot about my ticket with ten thousand things going on and I’m about to hand in a ticket and the court date is in two maybe three business days
For traffic tickets you can find an attorney who can handle it last minute. Even the day of.
This is a 5 point violation which will stay on your record in New York State for 18 months from the date of violation. Even though you have a Florida license, your driving privileges in New York will be suspended if you reach 11 points or more within an 18 month period.
I would recommend... Read more »
Somewhat recently found out my license was suspended. I called the court and she said to email her guilty or not guilty to move forward, I just want to know what I should plead and if I will receive points on my license for that.
This ticket does not carry points, but it may affect your driving record. You can choose to either plead not guilty and fight it or plead guilty and pay the fine.

They can ask you, but you should not talk to the police without an attorney.
You posted in NY. Report in PA.
So I got a mustang that is outfitted like a police car, but none of the lights are functional and there is no siren. It says police on the side however it has no markings for a state or county. It is a replica of the transformers 5 mustang police. It's basically a show car. I drove it and got... Read more »
You are not likely to be charged with impersonating an officer unless you were clearly acting like a jack ass and doing so, however, I can see cops taking offense to this and pulling you over/possibly arresting you.
You say it is a show car so make it that. With regards to the tints, that... Read more »
a police officer happens to be in building and showed up at court. he asked me if it's possible that the ruben Lopez which is me , got this ticket.. I said its impossible, because I never got stopped by any black police officer in my life.. this cop lied and he knows it and I know it, anyway judge... Read more »
Sounds like he said she said. The officer says they gave you the ticket, and the judge believed the officer, and found you guilty. If you have a warrant, that means there is probably a criminal charge issued as well for driving suspended. If you cannot afford a attorney, you may be eligible for a... Read more »
On July 25, 2018 I was pulled over and issued a ticket for violating VTL 1123. (After the fact, I realized I actually violated VTL 1124, the officer referenced the wrong statute.) I pleaded not guilty and received paperwork from the town court confirming they received my plea and noting they would... Read more »
There are a number of points in the proceedings where different statutes of limitations apply. I assume you are asking about the start of the case, which is one year form the date of offense. If that is not what you had in mind, ask again with more specificity.
Hellou Guys I just want to know something. i get convicted with 3 points few days ago, now i saw 3 points in my total of DMV record. But i don't know why they counting these points if the ticket is not a recent violation, these ticket was 3 years ago. So in this case: ¿Does not suppose the DMV to... Read more »
The conviction and points will appear on your record for 4 years. However, the points disappear and go back to zero 18 months after the date of violation.
When you recived the ticket you were required to plead guilty or not guilty by a certain date. (should have been somewhere on the ticket) you can call the court to figure out the next step to getting your license un-suspended, or you can hire an attorney to do that for you.
My registration was up to date and my license was valid, but my insurance lapse messed with them all and gave me four tickets, why?
When your insurance terminates (or lapses) the DMV automatically suspends/cancels your registration and plates, but not your driver's license. Reinstate your insurance (expect the rate to go up), renew your registration, get new plates, and take proof of all of that to court when you appear. You... Read more »
Was recently pulled over with what I thought was an expired license (I live in Brooklyn and rarely drive, idiotic and lazy I know). They brought back tickets unpaid from 16 years ago and suspended my license. Is there a statute, and if I hire a lawyer is this something they could fight and knock... Read more »
Sorry, there is no statute of limitations for traffic tickets. You must clear up all your old tickets and fines in order to lift the license suspension
I have an upcoming traffic court date of January 2020, however i have recently moved to New Jersey. What should I do, don't I have to hand in my NY license within 60 days?
You can apply for a New Jersey license even though you have a pending traffic ticket in New York.
I assume you have pleaded not guilty and have a hearing date next January. Until you either plead guilty or are found guilty after a hearing, this ticket will not show up anywhere.
Ticket was for holding an electronic device (GPS). Since the ticket said it was in the Bronx I have to go to the DMV there instead of Brooklyn. This was 2 years ago and now is my court date after all that time. Is there a possibility for dismissal?
They are all part of the same administrative hearing system, so we do not think it will be dismissed for that reason.
License, its VTL 509-5 it's my first ticket or time getting pulled over how much would it cost for that if I plead guilty or do you think I could get it dismissed because it's a first time, I just turned 19 too.
We need more information. Where was this charged filed? (what city/town/village?)
I am 25 years old with CA license with a clean record. Got pulled over for 91 mph in 65 mph on 7/4.
One of the ways this hurts you is that you may not know that the max fine is $300, but there is also a mandatory $93 surcharge and $300 state fee. You probably want to fight this ticket.
