NY NJ traffice reciprocity

flatbutt · 03:27 PM

So me and the baby Duc were out in the NYS reservoir area of Neversink. I got busted for 13 over. I probably was but don't really know for sure. In NY thats 4 points but in jersey only 2.

'twas an interesting stop in that first he called me "bro". Then said his supervisor knows he made the stop so he just must write the ticket. Said I was doing 51 in a 40 but wrote me up for 53. Then outa the blue says if I show up in court I can plead it down. He was courteous and professional...I was courteous and deferential.

Anyways I'll prolly go to court and plead that it was outside of town, no schoolyard nearby, no playgrounds, no strip malls. I wasn't hooning about . It was just a careless moment.

If begging doesn't work then....Question is which do I get hit with, 2 or 4?

Both state are the same. The full violation carries over to each state. (Ask me how i know.....)

Money? Here in CA, if you plead not guilty at arraingment, you have to post a bailment and fees. If you later "win" you get all your money back (and no traffic ticket fine). If you lose, you pay the traffic ticket and court fees. At least that's the way it is the last time I got a ticket and fought it about 15 years ago.

Huh, the points schedule indicates that jersey is different. Well 2 or 4 prolly the same fine for me. I have no points on my record now. Thanks guys

FB, what I meant was I got a 4 point ticket in NYC. It went on my NJ DL record as a 4 point ticket.

Get the yellow pages for the area and find a lawyer. You will pay less in higher insurance than the cost of the lawyer...The fine will probably not be reduced, but the points will go away.
