Moving Violation Tickets

[Hirshthg]

I got a moving violation 2 point ticket for not yielding to pedestrians, is it worth fighting, and if yes who should i use. My friend got also a seat belt ticket do you get points fro it,  and if yes is it worth fighting. It was in Brooklyn.

Gr... I hate it when people give you bits and parts of the story. Dan make a stick with all the ticket info....
Failing to yield is 3 points x2 is 6 points, definitely worth fighting. Also if you got both tickets at the same time you only have to pay 1 legal fee with most attorneys.

Adult seat belt has no points but it does go on your record, it does increase your insurance, and  it does have safety factors. The question is how much is your record worth to you.

1. Default judgement and 2. possibly A warrant to lock you in a cage also known as a warrant for your arrest and/or possibly revocation of your license. If you mistakenly missed a court date, you should call the court immediately to ensure there are no extra penalties, fines, or warrants and/or to schedule a new court appearance or appeal.

Lol!
For parking tickets they get a money judgement and if you don't pay that they will eventually suspend the registration of your car. When your car registration is suspended eventually they will suspend your driver's license.

However this entire time there is no warrant for arrest, and the only reason they can arrest you for is if you are driving (with a suspended license or registration).

I got a ticket in NJ 2 weeks ago and it still doesn't show up at njmcdirect.com, it does not state that i have to appear in court, so I want to pay off the ticket (it's NJ and I'm NY license) and finish, is there anything I can do?
What if it doesn't show up at all, does it mean for them that I never got the ticket and I am free?

Please advise
Thanks

Thank does happen. And yes you would be free. However I would call the Court Clerk and check to make sure that they never got it.

NYC is win or lose, no plea bargaining or reduced verdicts. Going to court you have nothing to lose (other than your time) since pleading guilty and paying without fighting it in court is the same thing as losing in court. Of course you have a much better shot with a lawyer, but they cost $300, give or take (and win or lose.)

If you go down to the Court for trial you can get a better price by paying $100 to one of the suits standing around to take your case to trial. Otherwise it would be $300 by most people.

Does anyone how it works with points, I.e. Does the insurance company see them as soon as they hit your license and Jack your rates up or only when you are Due for a payment. My q is basically would it be of any benefit to pay for the entire yr before my court date In case I lose the case. Thanks!

"The insurance company gets it after you are found guilty in court for up to 3 years from the date of the ticket. So if your court date was a year after you got the ticket and you were found guilty, the insurance company will consider your ticket when determining your rate in years 2 and 3 from the ticket. Let’s say your court date was pushed of a full 2 years after the ticket then your insurance company will only consider your ticket in year 3. "

Incorrect. The tickets affects your record 3 years+ from the date of conviction. Pushing of a ticket only helps to fog up the mind of the police officer  so he doesn't remember the event.

The real players in NYC show up at the first appearance and only adjourn if they see the cop showed up. This way the cop needs to appear each time and hopefully will eventually stop.

This guy named Chris Inzerillo (718) 676-7223  gives these courses that take 45-1hr in pizza stores in the tri state area NJ & catskills etc... that gets you 4 points off your license & 10% off your insurance.

Saying that the course takes points off your license is very misleading (yet the dmv used to use the same wording).
All it does is extend your NYS limit from 11 to 14. The points are still there, ad effect you in many other ways.

I found another thread about traffic tickets. At Hoockers request (who also seems to be in the ticket business) I will not go back from before June:) Sorry for hogging the whole page.

  Dude i'm not sure what your smoking, but first you gotta STOP spamming the board 2. READ before you post! and 3. Use "Sechel".
Was PG talking about a Parking ticket or a failure to stop/driving infraction ticket? Was U-no-me talking about a parking ticket or a driving infraction ticket?

I'm not sure all this.... is good for your business.

I have a guy who will do it for you for $300, (I think I have a link under my name.)

Liberty isn't such a easy Court however with only 17 over you could probably get it down to no points on your own, and for sure with a lawyer.

everyone pays the DAF.(UA speak from experience)

@NI To summarize:

If you don't have any NY points on your DL and you hope not to get any additional points within 12-18 months you will not be assessed the $300 fee. Taking a lawyer (if you don't have additional points) will not affect you, other than burn a hole in your pocket.

If you would go down on your own you would probably save yourself $100+ dollars for the work zone violation and will give you the leeway of getting another ticket within the above time frame.

The ticket was for speeding 24 over....so that automatically makes it 6 points...

Hi,

I just got a traffic ticket in ch for riding a bicycle the wrong way down a street.
Here's the thing, I did not have ID so I made a few mistakes while giving over my name and address.
My name is basically terribly misspelled (first and last) my DOB is wrong and my address is an old address that I used to work at (it's also missing the apt no.)

It says "Traffic Ticket" on top of the yellow slip they handed me.

I feel like if I ignore this, it can really bite me in the @$$ later, but do they have any way of getting to me?

Thanks.

What's your source?
Every traffic lawyer I speak to says it ends 3 years from the ticket date and starts from the court date. Are they all wrong?

If you pay it and you are right that they will never catch you, it will not go on your record, and will disappear after 3+ years, however if you ignore it, it hangs around forever, and if they ever do find a way t tag you too it, it would be a lot more expensive and damaging then.

I know a guy from Canada who found a way to get parking tickets to not find him, and he racked up 30K in parking tickets. Then one day, they took his car, and sent him the full bill.

Yes, thanks Hirshthg, it was so tempting to just ignore it, but the prospects of having to deal with a bigger issue down the line got me to pay it now.
I don't like being "had" and getting a ticket for biking the wrong way down the street definitely feels like that.

I found it incredibly difficult to completely invent a name / address etc. so I chose the distortion route (misspelled name etc.) which I can always claim was the officer's problem.

Hello, earlier in this thread you had one other person give you this info with a website:

I found this for NY

For DMV purposes, points start from date of violation; insurance can use date of conviction.[/b][/u]

I would give you the website I am promoting and of which there is a link under my name, but they may just ban me.

Can you tell me please who are those attorneys you spoke with? The problem is that the laws regarding how long DMV hurts you the points is located under the rules of the commissioner of DMV which everyone is familiar with, the laws regulating the insurance companies because of traffic tickets are not as commonly known.

Here you have links to DMV.GOV (trustworthy?) which talk about action the dmv takes against you for violations: http://www.dmv.ny.gov/license.htm#points Not that the conviction DOES NOT leave your record after 18 months, and that this "part of DMV" can't tell you how long insurance companies will spike you.

Here is a link which give you more information as to how long the violation is on the record and is visible (to everyone including car insurance co.): may increase you for. http://www.dmv.ny.gov/abstract.htm#WHAT
"The DMV removes a conviction or an accident from a driver record on January 1 of the fourth year after the year of the conviction or the accident. For example, an accident or a conviction that occurred during 2003 remains on the driver record until January 1, 2007."

All of the above is using cheat sheets, if you want to read the real law, you can look it up yourself under: public.leginfo.state.ny.us/menuf.cgi Go to "laws of new york" Go to "VAT" and then you can go shopping for the original source in the law. For the 18 month rules you can go to article 20 and then to 510.

Couldn't you just have the ticket dismissed based on all the wrong info?

Just got a $100 passing-red-light ticket in Boston. What's the best way to reduce it or remove it in Boston?

PS. I was guilty, albeit unintentionally.

It's from the date of the ticket. Not the conviction. I run records for insurance companies.
