Ticket in New Jersey
I got a ticket in NJ but I have a NY License.
NY does not take any points by no means by any other state besides Ontario lol.
Should I just pay out the ticket and not worry about the hassle?
Ticket is for 120 in a 55. 3 in the morning with no traffic what so ever

I wouldnt be to sure about that statement............. I think you get points anywhere in the Tri-State area which includes NY, NJ & CT. You should definately call a lawyer and double check before you do anything as you will loose your license if you just pay that ticket. At least google it or something lol

Just curious what you guys would do in this situation.
So knowing they won't take out of state points, would you even bother to fight it?

Can you tell me how you can justify what you said.
If there are no points or violations on my driving record, how is the insurance company going to increase my premium?

I'm not a lawyer, but I would think that the ticket gets reported somewhere and that it would be easy for your insurance to get the info.
Call a traffic lawyer on Tuesday and see what they say.

Rep Power: 43 Insurance gets info from DMV driving records.
NYS doesn't hold anything for out of state.
So what exactly would they look up? I'm not trying to bash you, but I just need to know factual information, not a "hunch."

Like I said, I would call a lawyer and see what they say. Find it hard to believe that just because you live in NYS that you can get tickets anywhere else and not have any repercussions.

"If I get a ticket for a moving violation in another state, do I receive points on my NYS driver license?
The NYSDMV does not record out-of-state violations committed by NYS drivers in other jurisdictions. The exceptions are alcohol-related violations, drug-related violations, and moving violations committed in Quebec or Ontario. Under special agreements, traffic convictions in Quebec or Ontario are recorded on NYS driver license records and carry points. Except for violations in Ontario and Quebec, points are not added to your NYS record for out-of-state violations.
If you do not respond to a ticket or fail to pay a fine for a moving violation that you committed in any state except Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon or Wisconsin, the DMV suspends your NYS driver license until you respond to the ticket or pay the fine. If a driver from a state except these six states fails to respond to a traffic ticket issued in NYS, their driver license will be suspended until the driver responds to the traffic ticket in NYS.
Drivers from other states must contact the DMV in their home state to get information about the effect of a traffic violation conviction that occurs in NYS.
If you receive a conviction for an alcohol-related or drug-related driving violation in any state, your NYS driver license is revoked for at least six months."

I guess scroll down till you find it if you want.
Even with this, you still think I should fight it?
Your opinions are still being considered.
The only reason I said I wanted facts is because I don't want random incidents that have nothing to do with my situation being posted. Obviously NYS is unique in that they refuse to take out of state violations so I was curious if anyone had a experience like mine.
