Attorney answers:
What kind of information is required on a ticket for "disobeyed traffic control device"?
The officer gave you a "break" by reducing the 4-point speeding ticket to a 2-point disobey traffic control device ticket. The ticket sounds properly completed. Details would be expected in a different document called a support deposition. If you push the issue by fighting the ticket, the officer could ask to amend it back to the original charge. I hope this information is helpful.

I got my first speeding ticket its a 68 on a 30 and i have a clean license i want to plead not guilty.
You cannot work out a "deal" at the Brooklyn traffic court. At this court, there are no deals. It is an "all or nothing" court. You should nevertheless fight this 8-point speeding ticket. It carries a lot of points, will be expensive and, most importantly, can result in your being suspended. The below article that I wrote should help you understand better what you're up against.

Attorney answers:
I wanted to know how would I get out of speeding ticket I didn't actually get
When you are newly-issued a license, you are on probation for the first six months. During this time, you are not allowed to speeding and, if you are convicted of this charge, your license will be taken away. Therefore, you need to plead not guilty and fight this ticket. In New York City, there is no plea bargaining for traffic tickets. Rather, it is generally "all or nothing". Therefore, I recommend that you consult with (if not hire) a New York traffic ticket lawyer to maximize your...

Attorney answers:
Do I need a lawyer for a court case for driving with a suspended liscence?
At the very least, you should have a consultation with a NY traffic ticket lawyer. Driving when you know (or should know) that your license is suspended is called Aggravated Unlicensed and is a misdemeanor in New York. If you clear up the underlying the suspensions, our experience in court is that you can likely avoid getting a criminal record. I have posted a link below that will provide you with more helpful information about suspended license issues. Matthew Weiss

Attorney answers:
Can I negotiate cell phone violation ticket without a lawyer in NY?
Your cell phone ticket will be heard at the Traffic Violations Bureau. At the TVB, there is no plea bargaining. You must plead guilty or not guilty, and if you plead not guilty, then your case will be scheduled for a hearing. Winning this this court is difficult especially for lay persons and lawyers who do not regularly appear in this court. I've written an article entitled "Fighting A Traffic Ticket At The Traffic Violations Bureau". It should help you better understand how this court...

Attorney answers:
I have several speeding tickets and want to resolve them... I live in NYC and was wondering, can i be arrested ,
You can only be arrested if you get caught driving. It is illegal to drive when you know or should know that you are suspended. It is not criminal to merely be suspended. There are no payment plans but you can pay one ticket at a time. Because three speeding ticket convictions results in a mandatory 6-month revocation, I recommend that you retain a NY traffic ticket lawyer to help you.

My 17.5 year old daughter received speeding ticket in Brunswick, NY for 56 in a 30 zone. should i consult a lawyer?
This ticket carries 6 points, roughly a $200 fine and a $300 Driver Assessment Fee. Because it is considered a "high" speed", it can also hurt your daughter's insurance rates (even though she has an otherwise clean record). Therefore, she definitely wants to plead not guilty. She can appear herself or with a NY traffic ticket lawyer. Whether she wants to hire a lawyer is a personal decision. If she hires an attorney, then she will NOT have to appear in court. Many appreciate the...

Attorney answers:
Can I ask for dismissal at trial, the officer wrote up a different license number and color of car getting a NY speeding ticket
Unlike a NY parking ticket, these types of errors are insufficient to get your case dismissed. You can raise them at trial to show the officer was not careful and may have made other mistakes, but in my experience you'll need to show more than these two minor errors in order to beat this speeding ticket. There are other ways to attack this ticket and get a possible result. You may want to consult with an experienced NY traffic lawyer. Matthew Weiss, Esq.

Attorney answers:
Traffick Ticket Deposition
Unfortunately, you are not entitled to a supporting deposition and will not be able to get your case dismissed for the police's failure to serve one. Your case is pending at the Hauppauge Traffic Violations Bureau. Because this court is an administrative agency, you are not entitled to receive one. This issue was litigated in the courts on equal protection grounds and the motorist lost. As for the hearing, I wrote an article entitled "Fighting A Traffic Ticket At The Traffic Violations...

Unlicensed Operator in NY while license in NJ suspended. subsection 5091 of NY V and T Law
This ticket is a violation, not a crime. It carries about a $100 to $150 fine in New York. You are actually lucky. The officer could have charged with a misdemeanor known as Aggravated Unlicensed. As a New York attorney, I don't know much about New Jersey law but suggest you consult with a New Jersey attorney about this matter and about clearing your NJ suspension.
