"Violation of the Pa vehicle code on turnpike. Sec 6110 Subsection A"
No. As long as he can ID you as the driver that is enough. That being said, he cut you a break by citing you with a zero point non-moving violation. My advice would be to just pay it since he cut you a break. Good luck!
I received a ticket for running a red light. It was on a two way one lane street. There was three lights for the one lane street two were green one was red. I looked for on coming traffic, it was clear and I turned left. As soon as I got through the light a cop flipped his lights on and told me I... Read more »
In Pennsylvania you are allowed to make a left-hand turn on red if you are on a one-way street and you are turning left onto another one way street. That doesn’t mean however that you should plead guilty because you will get three points if you are convicted. You should follow the instructions on... Read more »
1 of 2 vehicles, didn't know each other. Asked where I was going, where I was coming from, what I did. Took 10 mins or less. He said to be safe and slow down. Both vehicles let go at same time. It was the sheriff, 1 back up officer.
Sounds like you won’t be cited with anything. Hopefully you thanked him. Good
Luck!
He put wrong color of car and I received the citation 31 days after incident through mail it says I was clocked at 106 on a 65
You need to follow the instructions on the ticket and plead not guilty as you are facing 5 points plus a likely license suspension if you are convicted of that speed. The wrong color could possibly be a defense, but you may be better off trying to save your license. An experienced traffic attorney... Read more »

I was underage and intoxicated, I was also just walking home. I dont see how they can take it for that long.

-You have a 2 YEAR(S) suspension/revocation that began(or will

Because under the old rules the statute allowed them to do that. If it was not a second offense underaged talk to an experienced PennDOT attorney about appealing it.
I was walking home intoxicated. I wasnt even driving and they took my liscence for over 2 years.
Under the old rules they could for a second offense. They changed the statute a while back.
A conviction for a traffic citation appears on the driver’s state driving record abstract. The conviction does not relate to the title history of a vehicle or any future vehicle. If you fail to pay a traffic citation a number of things could occur depending on the terms of the judgment of... Read more »
I am 19 years old and it is my first time getting a ticket. How much will my insurance go up and will I get points on my license since it happened out of state?
No, out of state points do not transfer to PA
I received four citations on Wednesday. Two citations correcting with expired inspection, 1 citation for no proof on insurance, 1 citation for insurance being cancelled due to the expired inspection. I was told I have to 10 days to go to the magistrates office to take care of the citations either... Read more »
The officer has 30 days to file a citation.
Yes. You will be found guilty. Go through Ohio and get stopped it's a problem. Also, the ticket can be refrerred back to DMV here, and you can get points on your license. So either pay or appear.
When my son and his girlfriend were coming home one night in January 2020 they came upon a truck with yellow flashing lights on the side of the road. The speed limit was 55 mph There was another car a short distance in front of them also. They proceeded to slow down as they approached the scene.... Read more »
If no one was there and his girlfriend testified, I don't see why the DJ found him guilty. Depending on what the officer said, something must have made the DJ say there was a signal.
The law reads:
a) General Rule.--The driver of any vehicle, unless otherwise directed by an... Read more »
I got pulled over 2 days ago for speeding through a school zone. The officer told me I was going 29 in a 15mph zone. I never got a ticket before. My dad told me I could lose my license, is that true? What should I do?
You will not lose your license, unless this is a 2nd offense. It will be 3 points added to your license which could affect your insurance rates. Plead not guilty and get a lawyer, as your chances to get zero points will be better with a lawyer. Also, depending on the county, some judges will let... Read more »
Traffic ticket issued in NJ, PA drivers license.
Offense 19:9-1.2.19
1 How many points?
2. Do points appear on PA drivers license?
3. If so, how long do points stay on a PA driver’s license?
You should be in good shape. Out of state tickets do not transfer to PA. It does transfer if you had a NJ license and received a ticket in PA.
PO cited me for doing 60 on a 50. in the notes is where the PO put "75/55 approaching an active work zone. PA traffic law 3368 section (c)(4) states "no person shall be convicted upon evidence obtained through the use of devices unless speed recorded is 6 or more mph"
The PO... Read more »
First you need to check with GA DOT to see if out of state tickets transfer as this offense is 3 points plus and automatic suspension for going over 11mph over in a work zone. Get a local traffic lawyer - many judge will let your lawyer go to court for you to try to change the ticket to one with... Read more »
NJ and insurance charges 2 pts for all out of state moving violations
You should definitely plead not guilty and go to court as any moving violation in Pennsylvania, and even some non-moving violations like 3111 A do transfer as points to New Jersey. Even though 3111a is considered a non-moving violation in Pennsylvania, New Jersey considers this a moving violation... Read more »
you may want to restate this. You were driving with or without a cdl? If it's just that you didn't have it on you, frequently if you give them proof they will drop the charge or give you some alternate charge. However they don't have to do that.
Received a speeding ticket for allegedly going 42 mph in a 25 mph zone. Cop "cut me a break" and dropped my speed to a 30 in a 25, still got slapped with a $150 ticket. Brought the ticket home and after discussing the topic with others, I decided I'd take it to court, but I... Read more »
These are tough to fight and given the difference in speed not sure a Judge wouldn't find that it's beyond the normal margin of error for any speed timing device (4-8 mph). Contact an attorney who handles tickets before that DJ to see what it would cost and chances of winning.
Driving down road on motorcycle, get cut off by passerby, words exchanged, I cut back in front of him and break as he was on my tail. Officer comes over explains that the gentleman who ctmut me off recorded whole ordeal without audio and officer says he could cite me for many things but will only... Read more »
The tape is evidence --consider a porch pirate whose actions are caught on camera. Doesn't mean they can't be charged. I'd take the eyewear ticket. Or you can fight a long protracted fight and maybe face a points violation.
I took a plea deal and they never mentioned a lisence suspension ever!! Its not in any of my sentencing paperwork and I was never told of it being part of it
Or I never would have taken the plea
Yes, there is an automatic suspension under the law for convictions for that offense. The only thing you can do is file a PCRA petition alleging your lawyer did not represent you properly.
