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: sashaa (Dec 10, 2007 8:07 am) If you have a prosecutor that doesn't want to deal you are in a tough spot anyway. In order to pursue the no point option you need a prosecutor, cop and judge who are willing to do that. If any one of the three don't want to you have a no go.

Replying to: sashaa (Dec 10, 2007 11:00 am) it means to cut your losses and throw in the towell. Yes, you've made the trip twice, but at what point to you just give up and pay the ticket? I say sooner rather than later, personally.
