i am not a resident of NJ but NY and have something to ask. in NY if you cancel a court date they will give you another in the mail 2-3 months later.

now in NJ i canceled a court date expecting the same but they just gave me another date about a week later. so i already canceled one but im thinking can i do it again saying i will be away on business and will return in about a month or so.

will they give me a new court date a month later when i get back from me going on business?

NJ courts really suck...Have to wait in line to appear, then have to wait to see the judge, and after that you have to wait again to pay for the summons...Most NJ judges are very strict when out of state people or businesses get tickets in their state...Overall system they have sucks balls and especially if your young and own a BMW, they will kick it right up your ass!!!

^thanks for info.

this is actually for the pops . my only concern is the court checking if he really left for business like check passport if he left the country. most likely they will not be this hardcore but if your flying within the 48 states, you can just go with a driver's license still right?

never been to a nj court, me or pops so no idea. need help/opinion/thoughts .

thanks.

yes u can fly with a driver's license to the 48 states...

and yes im sure (especially its ur pops, hes older more matuer) they wont be such a dick to him in the court. and u can def get it reschedule...

i got a ticket and reschedule 3 times before i actually went which is almost 6 months later.

You have to wait in line... Unless you have a lawyer. In which case, you go first (at least in my case - 3-4 years ago).
Depending on your offense (e.g. mine was speeding), you may want to familiarize yourself with NJ law. There are a few ways around (e.g. 3 strike reclassification, bargain with prosecutor, etc. - not sure if this still works). All they want is to collect money from you not necessarily assess points and raise your insurance.

Yeah, waiting in line is terrible.

I don't know if there is any particular order either, all I know is that those with lawyers go first.

Bargain with the prosecutor and you should be able to work out some type of deal.

and a "Deal" should mean just paying a fine, make sure you get no points. I know there's some sort of point transfer agreement between NY and NJ but don't know the details.

GL!

Yes and No.

If a NY driver is caught outside of NY in ANY state for a moving violation, no points will be recorded on his NYS license. You still must appear at court, NJ or where ever if you received a summons, and pay all and any fee's associated.

If a NJ driver gets caught in certain states (NY being one of them) for a moving violation, then a maximum of 2 points will be transfered to your NJ license. Again, you still have to show up to all court dates, and pay fines and fee's.

Only exception is DWI and Drug related offense's. That info will always go back to your home state, and then depending on their specific laws, they can suspend your license.

NY residents points carry over from some states like tenesee quebac and ontario canada. there are like 2 mores. i love living in NY.

NJ people if you get a speeding ticket anywhere outside NJ points come over.

the DWI applies for all states i believe.

NJ is a nightmare...mostly rural-ish courthouses and judges with little sympathy for import drivers.

Negative grasshopper, from the NY DMV webpage:

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.


go figure, i can be in Jersey and get pulled over with no risk of points going over to my license. Yet being in another country it gets recorded, whatever


On the other hand, NJ residents:

Violations committed in other states
Even though you are a New Jersey driver, you can still acquire points and penalties for violations committed in other states. New Jersey is a member of two compacts that enforce this policy.


The Driver License Compact
Consists of 45 states and the District of Columbia. States not included are Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin
Members in this compact exchange all violation information. Out-of-state moving violations are worth two points. For example, if you receive a speeding ticket in Florida, you will get two points on your New Jersey driving record for that violation

The Nonresident Violator Compact
Consists of 44 states and the District of Columbia. States not included are Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon and Wisconsin
Assures nonresident motorists the same rights and privileges as residents
Nonresident drivers have due process protection and cannot be detained out-of-state
Requires drivers to fulfill the terms of traffic citations received in member states or face the possibility of license suspension in their home state
Does not apply to parking or standing violations, highway weight limit violations and violations of Hazmat transportation laws
