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.

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

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?

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.

They don't carry points, but some of them go on your record and can affect your insurance.
The ticket that was issued has no reason why they pulled him over and all of the vehicle information is wrong except the license plate number can it be thrown out for this incorrect information?

To better answer your question, we need to know under what section the ticket was issued to you.

Where did you receive these tickets? What courthouse are the tickets returnable to? You definitely should consult with an attorney ASAP in regard to these tickets.

More information is needed for a better answer. A grant of hardship privilege is based upon the finding of the statutory conditions and not just your age. But if you are 16 and in high school, you will not allowed any privilege if you just want to drive to and from a high school.

It's recommended that you retain a local "NC" attorney. Upon information and belief, reckless driving is classified in NC as a misdemeanor just like NY. If you get convicted of the charge, that means you have a criminal record, which possibly affects your conditional discharge. You... View More

The uniform citation, used in most, but not all cases, has the officer's signature and a date to return the citation with your plea. In some circumstances it may require an appearance on that date.
