Shouldn’t the inspection be waived since it’s quarantine? Will registering the vehicle before showing up to court resolve this? What should I do?
Great question. The NYS DMV has announced that registrations will not expire during the lock down, but this does not mean that NYS permits driving a vehicle that was never registered.
The process in court depends heavily on which court the tickets are filed in.
(State-NYVTL 375 (2)(a)(3) (Civil?
Assuming you are writing the citation correctly "VTL 375-2(a)3" this is an equipment violation, for no/insufficient tail lamp. As long as you pay the ticket, the ticket will not affect your driving record.
I was the passenger in a car where the driver license was suspended. I was instructed to get in the driver seat because my license was valid. I also received a ticket for oper/permit/lic reg art 7, which is also a misdemeanor. What does that ticket even mean? And would it be dismissed because my... Read more »
The ticket you received was for allowing a suspended driver to operate a vehicle for which you, apparently, had custody and control.
But there is not a white line ir a cross line for people to cross ?
A stop sign can have a white line it interacts with, but a stop sign does not need a white line to be valid. Take a look at the statute:

This is an 11 point speeding ticket, which means your driver's license can be suspended for this ticket alone. An attorney can likely get get some of the points reduced, so your license does not get suspended.
I got a ticket 2 years ago in the bronx for texting and driving which is 5 points. Than a ticket 2 months later which I didnt plead guilty to for going 21 over the speed limit which is 5 points.

perfect and an emergency vehicle was approaching in my rearview mirror. Can I challenge the Red light camera ticket, although the emergency vehicle was about 250 feet behind me?
Can you challenge the ticket? Certainly. Are you saying that you yielded to the emergency vehicle? Was this ticket issued by a police officer, or a camera? Police issued red light tickets are worth 3 points.

A plate reader picked it up Cop told me the dealer's registration was expired upon review it was expired. I plead not guilty and that was a year ago... Read more »
Was that the only ticket that you received? If so, get a letter from the dealer that it was their vehicle and proof that the car was re-registered. You can have an attorney to represent you and you would not even have to appear.
I forgot about a speeding ticket which resulted in the suspension of my license. My record status is: Suspended.even though the letter I received from the Traffic Violations Division states that "Convictions are removed from your driving record". I don't know what to do because the... Read more »
Hard to read the paper you have in your hand without seeing it. Most attorneys will read that letter for you for free, as part of your initial consultation. Send it over to someone by fax or email.
I got a ticket for driving 82 in a 65 with a permit but the officer did not gave me a ticket for that what do u think is the result of that
This depends on many factors. What county? Is this a first offense? You need to talk to a local attorney who handles traffic matters.
The NY Governor has temporarily suspended all due dates. Please pay the fine once the court re-opens.
Vehicle and Traffic Law, Penal Law, Alcoholic Beverage Control Law, Criminal Procedure. Also look at the court/administrative law judge jurisdictional rules.
Why don't NYC traffic tickets contain a sworn statement by the ticketing officer that he personally served the ticket? According to Section 150.40(2) of the CPL (NYS) "An appearance ticket, other than one issued for a traffic infraction relating to parking, must be served... Read more »
The CPL doesn't apply to traffic tickets issued in NYC to the Traffic Violations Bureau. The case proceeds as a administrative proceeding.
Fine and suspension of liscence? 1st time offense, 2nd time etc?

Was this a police officer issued ticket, or a camera ticket?
I received a citation in NC...90 in a 70 and I live in NY. I can not pay online because 20mph over is a must appear. Is there anything I can do to not travel to NC and pay the fine?
Try re-posting this question under NC, where a NC attorney will see it. Only NY attorneys will see the question posted here.
This is something that an attorney who practices in Puerto Rico would know better than a New York attorney. You could repost under Puerto Rico (look for the link for other states), and one of the attorneys in that section could have better chances of seeing your question. Good luck

The violations are all non-moving. We had a lemon vehicle and were unable to afford to fix it (the one he paid off). He went to the courthouse and recieved a new court date for all tickets. Does he risk jail time? We moved at the time of the violations and did not recieve anything in the mail. The... Read more »
Depends on if he was charged with no registration/inspection, or a fictitious document. Please bring those documents into a lawyer for a free consultation.
I have rescheduled it twice already. How many times am i allowed to reschedule my court date?
You can try to reschedule a third time. It would be up to the Judge and you would have to post a $40 bond.
Most Judges will not reschedule if the ticket is more than 2 years old.
