Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 11, 2007 10:40 am) My best guess, and it is only that, is that the current ticket is as expensive as it's going to get since the prosecutor won't cut any deals. In all the time I've been here this is the first time I've run into a story with such a prosecutor. Usually if someone is going to throw a wrench into the works it's the judge or most likely the cop. That said, I agree with qbrozen at this point. Pay the ticket and move on. Would that I could do better than taht.

I just got a ticket for a 39:4-66.2 violation in NJ called avoiding traffic signal. I think its bogus, was stopped at the light but went straight and than turned into a hotel parking lot and came out onto the highway. I honestly didn't know it was illegal. Anyway its 2 points and $85. I'm curious if there's a way to fight the charge and not get totally screwed. I have 2 "reduced" violations from 4 years ago and believe the limit is 2 over 5 years. Am I better off just to pay and take the points?

Replying to: grs3 (Dec 11, 2007 4:22 pm) I knew about the law with cutting through a lot. I didn't know the citation but I've heard about people getting nailed on it. Hey, maybe they'd go for "failure to observe sign." That's a no pointer. |

Hi. Just got a traffic ticket for "obstructing traffic," which carries no points in NJ. [39:4-67 in traffic code] But I already have three points on my license, due to a car accident last year, and my insurance rates did, indeed, go up (despite the fact that I never had an accident or moving violation in my life before then.) SO my question is: If I pay for this traffic ticket that has no points associated with it, will it affect my insurance in anyway? Thanks,

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 12, 2007 7:22 am) I once got a "failure to observe sign" ticket under pretty odd circumstances (the cops were in plain sight and clearly there to make sure people stopped at a stop sign). I swear to this day that I DID stop but the cop said otherwise. I just sent in the money rather than tie up my time on a no point ticket. That one actually still gets me steamed years later but I learned to make sure you stop completely enough that you feel the car stop and count out a second. |

I got a ticket on 01 Jan for stop signal violation which is a 2 Points ,$85 fine. I am worried because I got a similar ticket in september and met with an accident too(fortunately no family member was injured), I went to the court and the prosecutor gave me a $409 option for no point ticket. I did not take it and paid the normal fine+ court fee. But since my total points will go upto 4 with this current ticket,I want to get rid of the points this time. Please help me know if it is possible to get the points removed this time since this is my 2nd ticket in 4 months,

I was advised by a prosecutor that I can only "buy down" my tickets to zero points three times in 5 years. Like an idiot, I've exceeded that already and plan to appear in traffic court tomorrow for another moving violation (failure to stop). My question is whether the three times applies only to speeding tickets or all moving violations??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
