Replying to: fezo (Jun 21, 2008 9:48 am) I will try to change my license to a different state which does not carry out-of-state ticket, so that I can avoid NJ Tickets |

Replying to: santoshmanya (Jun 20, 2008 8:49 pm) As Fezo said, NJ does allow right turn on red after a full stop, unless otherwise posted. Which kind of leads me to my 2nd point. I was unaware of NJ traffic rules. This statement troubles me. What exactly were you cited for that required you to do anything more than read road signs? The speed limit is not a secret law specific to NJ. And the turning on red, as explained above, is only a violation if there is a sign that tells you NO TURN ON RED, which again, means no requirement of knowing NJ motoring laws is necessary, you only need to read the signs.

Replying to: qbrozen (Jun 23, 2008 10:12 am) I am sorry if I had troubled you. But I had violated the law NO TURN ON RED and tried to merge Garden State Parkway and cop has given me ticket for NO TURN ON RED and Speeding. Is it fair to give ticket for speeding of someone increases speed to merge Parkway? Anyways I had learned a good lesson from NJ Traffic Cops

Replying to: santoshmanya (Jun 23, 2008 10:30 am) If no such sign exists, then you have an argument in court. Is it fair to give a ticket for speeding? well, speeding is speeding. Not sure what else to tell you there. I just can't believe a cop was sitting on an entrance ramp to the GSP. I've never seen that before. out of curiosity, what is the speed limit on an entrance ramp? Is it the limit of the GSP in that area (meaning 55 or 65)? |

I got a ticket today for failure to observe traffic lanes in West Milford,N.J.,which gets me 2 points. Can I plead this down to something less with no points and not having to pay some outrageous fine? My wife pleaded down a 4 point violation a few years ago to zero but the total costs added up to over $400. I wouldn't mind paying $100-150 to get rid of the points. My last violation was 15 years ago. Or does it make more sense to plead guilty & the take the defensive driving course online for $49,which gets rid of the 2 points(can only do that once every 5 years)? Thanx. |

Just got my first speeding ticket for going 38 in a 25 and I would love some advice. It's a 2-pointer and I'd love to have the points removed by pleading not guilty on my court date. I have a couple questions about it: 1) If the prosecutor gives me the option of pleading guilty to a non-point offense, will I definitely be whacked with a $200-300 fine in addition to the new offense? 2) If so, am I better of taking the points with Geico? Can the new offense, even though it might not include any points, increase my premium anyway? Thanks for any info you can provide.

Replying to: catman11 (Jul 06, 2008 5:04 pm) Sure, it's no fun paying the extra money on the ticket, though in my personal experience it was never so bad as being described now. Insurance surcharges would be more. I don't know how Geico operates but I'd expect the charge. The paying extra for the ticket or taking the defensive driving course may be a decision of how valuable your time is. The courses may not be that long but they seem so. |

I just got a ticket last month in Polk County Florida. I decided to take the ticket to court cause the cop was driving in the opposite direction and no way could he have clocked me doing 74 in a 55 and him driving towards me in the opposite lane with a 8-10 foot divider in the middle. So I was calm and collected took the ticket didn't argue. Went to the court set a Court Date. Just found out yesterday that the court date is all the way in Mid October? Anyone have experience taking a ticket to court? Should I try to extend the date when it comes close say i have a work related issue I can not get out of? I am new here and love this forum. Hope to hear back from someone. Also I am thinking about getting that Traffic Ticket Insurance anyone have that it might be worth it cause this ticket I just got was $215.00. Tracy. The RSX girl, |

Hello I just got a speeding ticket 43 in 25 zone and I am planning to go to court what are my chances. I am a NY resident and I work in bound Brook so it's near by but what are my chances any one has experiance with their procecuter. If there a point reducing the points from 4 to 2 I tried running a quote in geico.com and it doesn't make a difference if it was 18 over the limit (4 points ) or 5 over the limit (2 points) I still get 100$ increase for 6 months. Any advise will be appreciated |

Replying to: ilana (Aug 19, 2008 11:20 am) just pay the fine. If you go to court he will reduce your points from 4 to 0 if you plead guilty, but you need to pay $439.00 SANTOSH |
