Replying to: kemzo (Nov 05, 2007 10:44 am) I mean, do you think they'd overlook it if you didn't point it out to them? Heck no. They are catching it no matter what, so it really doesn't hurt to ask now. It is just as if you were car shopping and wanted to compare insurance rates on different cars. It is not like they are going to start charging you extra for the cars you considered purchasing.

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 05, 2007 11:27 am) I went to court today, and the possequtor reduce my point from 5 to 2 and i was so nervous that i forgot to ask for the no point option. my original offence was 85 in a 55 zone and he gave me 69 in a 55. He didn't let me explain anything, he first told me that he's gonna give me 4 instead of 5 and i almost cried and while writing he said ok I'll give you 69 in a 55. I want to enroll in a traffic school class on sunday 11/25. My question is, Is it early to enroll?, Is my Deal Good? All in All I paid $189 instead of $.240+5 points . Thanks |

Replying to: fezo (Oct 10, 2007 7:28 am) My court date was yesterday, I couldn't take off work, so I put in another affadavit; this time pleading guilty to the original speeding charge (w 2 pts) and explaining how the cop never mentioned the $350 additional cost of getting the pts dismissed. I logged on to the njmcdirect website today, and my amount due has been reduced from $439 to $118! $85 plus $33 court costs, much more reasonable. If my insurance rates go up, so be it. I'd rather pay the insurance company than the corrupt and wasteful NJ government...

Replying to: jean1206 (Jul 27, 2006 1:50 pm) So my next trip to court is in 3 days, and I am not willing to hire an attorney, any last minute tips would be appreciated. --- Here is my original mail, written back in August regarding my violation: I received a ticket today for "careless driving" in NJ. I was going maybe a little over 65 (in a 65 zone), and a cop pulled me over. He asked if I knew why I was I pulled. I replied, "not really, please explain." He said that I was going over 65, and he had detected it on his radar. I explained that, I didn't think he was correct, because I had not remembered seeing it and was going with a flow (even though those are speculations, I'm fairly convinced about my speed at the time). He took my license and registration and went to write a ticket. When he returned, he said that he didn't want me to get 4 points and wrote me a ticket for careless driving. I have a suspicion that the radar didn't register me to begin with. I just got very unlucky. I don't agree with the ticket nor violation in general, and feel the right way is to fight it in court. It is actually my first driving violation, not sure if it matters here. P.S. later in court I found out that that he registered 82 on the radar.... Please suggest what is the best course of action. Thank you all for your help.

Replying to: sashaa (Dec 08, 2007 5:02 pm) What do you mean by this?? Does it not say so on your ticket? I've never heard a story like this before. I don't see how they can state this if it is not on your ticket. Why are you so worried about the 2 points anyway? You're wasting all this time and energy and you will pay more money than the original ticket ... all for what? Will NY even recognize the points? I think this has been answered here before, and I think the answer was no.

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 10, 2007 7:14 am) The thing is I am still have NY license and my car is registered in NY, but I'll be moving to NJ next month and curious how will that affect me. You're certainly right about wasting money and time....
