I picked up phone and continued talking, then officer pulled me over and gave me a ticket. If I bring a doctors note will judge still make me pay fine?

Yes, you will have to pay a fine but you can see if it can be reduced. A cell phone violation is 5 points on your license.

New York State law requires the wearing of a helmet whiole riding a bicycle. You can get a summons for not wearing one.
I got pulled over by an unmarked PA State Trooper (the ticket says he was in a marked vehicle). He verbally told me I was going 64 in a 55, then issued me a ticket for 60 in a 55 to "do me a favor" since I otherwise have a clean driving record. In the confidential info section, he tries...

Thank you for your question. From the facts listed, it appears that you received a ticket in Pennsylvania and asked your question in an area for New York Speeding and Traffic Ticket Attorneys.

In New York, if a police officer files a report that you are physically unable to drive, the DMV will start an administrative proceeding to revoke your license.

I do not see a question here. We need more detailed descriptions of the issue.
I am getting a plea bargain application with the original charge of speeding 1180D and the reduced charge of 1110 A Disobeying Tfc Device. Should I accept it or decline it?

Thank you for your question.

Thank you for your question. Generally, when you miss a court date (in NY) for a traffic ticket, the court can either give you the opportunity for another court date or notify NYS DMV that you failed to appear and request that they suspend your New York driving privileges. NYS DMV will then send... View More
The driver saw a speed limit of 50mph and ignored it exceeded to 80mph

I'm sorry to read about what appears to be a horrific accident. Your question covers a range of categories, and Traffic Tickets is not the most compelling category in the context of other legal elements here. The county prosecutor could file charges based on what was revealed in an... View More

The 1202 subsection you cited has the fine range of $0 to $400, 0-15 days in Jail and $25 surcharge (on top of the fine). The judge has the discretion to determine the amount.
Where do I have to turn? To the "two-way left turn lane" or normal lane? New York State
answered on Aug 7, 2021
Below, I've pasted a link to the NYS DMV page that outlines a number of different left turn scenarios. The resource covers left turns from one-way to one-way, one-way to two-way, two-way to two-way, two-way to one-way, and two-way to four-lane highway. I hope it helps. Good luck

I recommend you check if you have previously owned a vehicle, contact the DMV for details and review your NY abstract (which can be obtained online instantly).
This is the second ticket since May. I will plead guilty because I don’t want to go to court. I just wanna make sure when I do that I don’t have to show up for my court appearance.
answered on Jul 23, 2021
If you send in your ticket with a guilty plea you do not need to go to court.
I was pulled over for speeding in October 2017 I pledguilty in January 2018 completed online driving school and paid appropriate fine. I just received a letter in the mail from the court saying that I still owe a balance for the ticket that I pled guilty to in Jan 2018. I’ve not received any... View More

Thank you for your question. Is it possible that the notice you received was from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles and not from the court where your ticket was handled? While your question seems to indicate that you do not have any other points on your license, it may be helpful to... View More

answered on Jul 16, 2021
Thank you for your question. The first thing I would recommend is that you contact the attorney who handled the ticket (and got it dismissed) for you and see if he/she can explain or look into the cause of the suspension.
Additionally, if you haven’t looked at a recent copy of your... View More
This is my first time getting a ticket. Had two of my sons 16&17 up on the roof, told them to knock it off and when they were bout to go down, cops pulled us over. Should I fight for a trial or just plead guilty? If I do, will I lose my driving privileges?
answered on Jun 8, 2021
Honestly, you are lucky if you are not charged with child neglect. Never plead guilty. Get yourself a good lawyer.
The officer said that It would not effect my record but I haven't found anything online confirming that so if you can please help me and answer my question that would be great. If I get this on my record I am going to lose a scholarship I earned and although it is fully deserved I need to know... View More

Generally no. Other factors may change the answer (any fatality invovled, Class A endorcement or not, etc). Careless driving summons are among the frequently issued tickets in NJ just like reckless driving ones in NY.

You posted in traffic tickets---assuming you are seeking a lawyer for representation of a traffic ticket, then you would have to convince a lawyer to represent you as you have no constitutional right to a lawyer for a traffic ticket. On the other hand, if you are charged with a crime (misdemeanor... View More

While it sounds unfair, the law requires drivers to know that the vehicle they are driving is properly registered and insured. You can argue that it was not your vehicle, but you may be held responsible for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle.
