Ticket in New Jersey
#16
So I guess the judge's little speach about how it "can be" is just a scare tactic...

The judges try to do everything they can to change your ways, to make you a driver that will abide by all of the laws. In reality nothing at all will happen, the only infractions that truly transfer over are DUI's.

If I took your advise, its the same as sending the minicipality a blank check.

I agree...IMO, there is no harm in always fighting the ticket regardless of whether or not the insurance co. finds out about it because if you do fight the ticket, chances are you either get a reduced plea deal with lower fines/points (no points important to me because I was about to transfer my license to NJ where I got the ticket) or get lucky and have a charge dismissed.

There are two sides to looking at this entire situation. One is that in the end it doesn't affect your insurance rates if its just paid and taken care of, in the grand scheme of things depending on the infraction by actually going to court to settle everything WILL come out more expensive. For example if you received a 4 point ticket for lets say 83 in a 55, in order for you to have it dropped to no points your paying $450 (w/ the Unsafe Driving), opposed to a $1xx.xx fine for the ticket itself. You also have to remember the time lost because you are not working and at present in court.

True, it really depends on each person's situation. In my case, if I took the initial deal offered by the PA (lowering the speed at which I was caught), my fine would be lowered to $95 from the 4 point infraction from the $230 fine. If I wasn't planning on moving to NJ and transfering my license, I would've stopped there. I personally opted to ask for the no points deal because because I knew I was getting the NJ license soon, however, so it did end up costing me $380 total instead. In TT/T's case, fighting the ticket really did make sense because he also got the Careless Driving charge dismissed.

Haha. Sweet. I try to hide my tickets, as I don't want to remind myself constantly how dumb I was for getting them in the first place. LOL
