Plz Help On Lawyer @ Municipal Court Of Mansfield & Ridgefield, NJ

nissan · 07-06-2007, 01:17 PM

From the quote you posted, I don't see how he's reading it wrong? NJ points do not transfer over onto his NY license. However, you better be careful if you do plead guilty and send in the money. Your license may be suspended in NJ if you exceeded their points per yr threshold. Obviously, you have some contact w/NJ so, again, pleading guilty w/o trying to lower points would not be in your best interest. If you're caught driving in NJ when NJ has suspended your driving privil, you'll likely be arrested and face some strict penalties.

No i'm not a lawyer, they never tell ya the truth, they tell ya what ya wanna hear. After living in NJ all my life, i realized the only way to protect yourself is to be truly educated in the laws of the municipal court systems. I don't want your money, I just don't want you to be a victim of the court or yourself. But i'll tell ya one thing, everytime ya get stopped, the whole process is documented from start to finish. So by the time ya go to court for the second offense, the judge will see all the dealings of your first appearance in the other court. He'll see why and where you were stopped and he'll see what you pleaded down to. This gives him the abilty to veto the deal you make with the prosecutor. So for your own sake get a V1 and chill out behind the wheel man. I'm not preaching to ya, I'm warning ya. YOU CAN NOT BEAT CITY HALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

A V1 isn't going to save this kid from jack if he's going that fast. NJ troopers use laser -- by the time the light on the V1 goes off, he'll be seeing flashing lights in his mirror. Get a V1 & a laser jammer, but it's still not enough...you gotta slow down and be alert!

rooster3.0 · 07-06-2007, 04:05 PM

points transfer from ny to nj. And yeah a jammer would help, but in both of his cases he wasn't even lasered. Nissan do you live in the tri state?

Cookiemonster · 07-06-2007, 04:17 PM

92 mph on the turnpike is nothing. If your not going 85 you are getting passed big time. The NJ tunpike is a very fast highway. Most tickets on that highway are for 100 plus. State Police use radar or laser very little on the Turnpike. Most tickets are done by pacing...I.E. Cop will go 90 in the truck lanes and see if cars ahead in the Car lanes are pulling awayfrom him. Done all the time and most tickets on the Turnpike are given from pacing. laser is done from the overpasses.

A majority of NJ State troopers do not use laser...........That is just a false statement.

nissan · 07-06-2007, 05:10 PM

I'm not saying all or a majority use laser, I was just posting from my experience in getting a ticket from a NJ state troopers using laser. However, it was on 287 -- didn't think that the TP would be any different, but apparently it is?

rooster, I'm in PA currently.

Cookiemonster · 07-06-2007, 05:35 PM

Thats cool. I live by State Police barracks and my detector is always going off around them but it is never laser. All good. :rocks:

rooster3.0 · 07-06-2007, 05:56 PM

PA is awesome, nothing transfers

they dont. NY points transfer to NJ and CT, but NY doesn't accept points from any state. only from canada.

trust me, i know from experience since i have a NYS drivers license.

hl0m4n · 07-07-2007, 03:50 PM

conatacted lawyers and checked with nj and ny dmv.

NY:
Points do not carry over from other states besides in Quebec and Ontario.
Points do carry over in any state though for drunk driving, drug charges, etc.

NJ:
45 States Points carry over. (would list the states void but lazy right now to go back to nj dmv website

)
Same with the drunk driving, drug charges, etc

If points do not carry over, you pay everything is good. BUT insurance companies can still see the tickets and will/may raise your insurance or do whatever their plan is.

hl0m4n · 07-07-2007, 03:52 PM

damn these speed limits in the us are SOOO friggin outdated. who keeps 55 on palisades. yes the nj turnpike is a VERY fast highway. speed there should be 80 lol.

for some reason my 335i feels REALLY stable even when going 135mph but 120-125mph feels very safe too and feels like your oging like 90mph. very nice.

rooster3.0 · 07-07-2007, 04:04 PM

I stand corrected.

Maestro · 07-09-2007, 05:54 PM

Someone already pointed it out, but NJ is now starting to us LIDAR, go to http://www.radardetector.net and learn and get some help. People are betting LIDAR tickets, there is plenty of opportunity for Officer to screw up the reading. On the ticket it should have indicate what kind of method was used to get your speed.

Also, even though most states say points transfer, I have not seen it done too often unless you do not pay the ticket. Most states only worry about getting your money, let alone trying to figure out what form they must fill out to report your traffic violation in your home state. I have friends in PA who commute into NJ daily and have lots of tickets and they have no points showing up on thier PA licenses and NJ has not stopped them from driving in thier state.

There is a couple of roads the the NJ police sit on waiting for thier PA victims, you travel in NJ enough with out of state plates they will get you, the same holds true for Ohio, they grab people there for 1 mile over if your from out of state. How do they know your from PA, no front plate unlike NJ & OH

Maestro · 07-09-2007, 06:01 PM

If you just got caught this month you got stung in this

NJ Police crack down on speeders

You better home NY does not do this

1. Speeding Ticket @ Ridgefield, NJ - Municipal Court Of Ridgefield.

on the road i was driving that night the speed limit is 50 or 55. after that road the speed is reduced to 40. as soon as i passed the speed limit 40 sign i saw the officer parked in the parking lot and slammed on my brakes even harder (i was gently slowing down to 40 in the 40mph zone). i thought the officer let me off the hook but after driving up the road 1-2 minutes in he flashed his lights on me and i got my ticket then.

another thing is that the officer had no speed gun on me as i have a radar detector. the first thing the officer said to me was "how fast were you going". deep inside i knew he didn't have my actual speed b/c of the radar detector but i got startled and said "i think 60 officer, im sorry". this is where i made my mistake. i should not have gave the officer something to work with but rather have said i don't know as i was paying attention to the road. lesson learned. (thanks to e90 post for this one for future prefrence)

2. Speeding Ticket + Careless Driving @ NJ Turnpike: Municipal Court Of Mansfield

today after a nice day witht he family on the way home i got pulled over on the NJ turnpike. the officer pulled me over and when he asked me how fast i was going i said, i don't know i was paying attention to the road. he said well i am pulling you for exceeding 90mph then he quickly returned to his car with my information and 15 minutes later gave me two tickets. this ticket also had no radar detector involved. just an estimated one. two tickets, one speeding 92 in a 65 and a careless driving one. i mean couldn't the guy at least give me a warning. he seemed really nice and gave me tips like this will hurt you badly so i suggest you plead not guilty and talk to the judge...yea ok...but thanks for the damn ticket!!!

i need a lawyer in both courts or can i just use one and settle this? i spoke to a friend and he said that since the tickets were out of state, me being a ny resident, i don't have to appear in court if lawyer is there.

Also happy 4th of july!!!

not to put you on the spot, but have lived in ridgefield,nj for almost 18 years and i know the town in and out. where is there a road with a speed limit of 50?
the highest i know of it 40 on rt.5
please let me know who it is who ticketed you and where and maybe i can help. i have some pull if thats what you would like to help.
