Points? by pbannard
May 10, 2005 (12:49 pm)
Reply
I recently received a ticket for going 14 mph over the speed limit in NJ (2 point violation in NJ), which I pled down to "unsafe driving" (0 points in NJ). However, I live in Virginia, and I'm wondering whether I'll still get points there because the point system is slightly different. Here is what I've found gets you points in VA:
The following points have been assigned to speeding and speed related offenses: Reckless driving-6 points; speeding 20 MPH above the speed limit-6 points; racing on the highway-6 points; speeding 10 to 19 MPH above the speed limit-4 points; exceeding a reasonable speed-3 points; improper driving-3 points; speeding 1 to 9 MPH above the speed limit-3 points; and, impeding traffic-3 points.
Clearly the original violation would have been 4 points in VA. Will NJ's "unsafe driving" be considered "exceeding a reasonable speed" or "improper driving," or will it just be 0 points?
Thanks!

can you call VA DMV and find out?
I think its highly unlikely you will get an answer to that question here.

I can't imagine the PA Turnpike Commission has a tight grasp on NJ DMV rules and laws. I would bet you'll get 2 points (and possibly none at all if it never catches up to you here).

Thanks for your reply qbrozen. I forgot to mention I now live in VA. If I switch over to VA driver's license does anyone think it'd make a difference one way or the other? Thanks.

Ticket for not stopping at STOP sign by andy18

Hi,
 
I recently got a ticket for not stopping at a STOP sign . I pleded not guily stating I have not seen the stop sign due to road construction and rain, and that was true. That was the first time I went in that route, this was Secaucus Train Station. Lot of construction over there. Now, they called me to appear in the court. I have never been to a court. Please guide me what will happen now.
 
Thanking you.

illegal U-turn by tgfssk
May 12, 2005 (6:03 pm)
Reply
I am 21 year old student
Few days ago on the way home from giving my sister a ride to Rutgers at 8 am on Saturday, I got lost and made a u-turn to trace back my way.
but there was a no u-turn sign and a police car right behind me
I got a ticket for illegal u-turn (3 point )
It is the first time I have ever gotten a ticket and
I was wondering if it is possible to get the plea bargain and make it into 0 point
If so, how much would that cost?
And also is it really necessary to plead not guilty ?
I have never been to the court before so I don’t know what to do
I thought pleading not guilty to what I’m surely guilty of might make the judge mad ^^;;;
Could you give me some advice on what I should do ?
Thanks

As you said, we can reduce the points to 0, but how much I will have to pay. I think not stopping at the stop sign will come under careless driving. So, how much do I have to pay, if I get the chance to reduce my point to 0, i think my ticket holds 2 points.

How much you have to pay if you plead to a lesser charge is completely up in the air. It all depends on what they have you plead to. Figure anywhere from $80-$500, from what I've seen posted on this board (if i'm remembering correctly).
