I have ticket and the appointmen in 9/10 next month in Brooklyn .. what is your recommendation for this appointment ? Will it be delayed automatically because covid-19 or what ?
Thank you for help us
i received a special coronavirus plea offer for a speeding ticket in Milan, NY from February. It would reduce my initial ticket from 4 points to 2 points. Should i take it? Or if i fight it is there a chance to get it reduced to 0?
Mariane,
Sounds like a decent offer. It would not be unreasonable to accept it (especially if your license is otherwise clean).

I am a Michigan driver and received a traffic ticket in New York (June 2020). Will points be assessed to my Michigan license if I plead guilty?
Erin,
Points from a New York conviction WILL transfer to your Michigan license. If you want to discuss how to fight this ticket, feel free to call us at 212-683-7373.

Hi there,
Thanks in advance if you see this message and answer my question.
I got a speeding ticket last December for going over 15 mph. I pleaded not guilty, because I wasn’t driving nearly that fast and I do not want 4 points into my license. I was scheduled to go on a hearing next week (first week of June) but it looks like the TVB offices in NYC are still closed. Since the city will reopen soon, will my hearing by rescheduled?
If it does, will I be able to still postpone the new date? I care more about not getting any points into my license and I read points will stay in your license for 18 months from the day you receive the ticket. I’m trying to push the hearing for as long as I can.
Thanks,
JB
JB,
Yes, you date will likely be re-scheduled. Because you have apparently never re-scheduled it, you will get a change to change the date yourself.
Matthew Weiss
Hi were you able to reschedule? I am just curious because I also have a court date in June
Daniel Lim,
Check the TVB website, your case may have already been re-scheduled.
Matthew Weiss
Hi,
I have a ticket that must be handled in person. The original date was supposed to take place April 17th and I have been checking weekly for an update as to when my new date would be and I still can’t access that information. The phone lines weren’t available so I checked online which is not fulfilling my requests to check the new date. As things are starting to reopen slowly I would like to know exactly when I need to appear in court. Thank you.
Matt,
We can likely help wit your predicament. Call us today at 212-683-7373.

Andre Kristahn,
In NY, there is not right to a speedy trial in regard to traffic tickets. Therefore, this incredibly long delay is not a basis for dismissal.

Hi. I went to pay online for 2 school zone camera violations that occurred in March. I knew exactly where and when they happened but I never received a ticket in the mail. I thought I’d just pay it before I incurred any additional admin fees. When I searched under my license plate, 4 other violations appeared that I wasn’t aware of. I did not received any ticket for any of them. When I tried to look at the tickets online, it said “no image available”. All 6 violations did not have any images available. I did pay for the 2 that I knew of. Am I still liable for the other 4? I don’t even know where they happened. Thanks for your help. G.
Geena,
You are liable unless you can prove otherwise. So plead not guilty (if you want) to those 4. Good luck!
Matthew Weiss
Good day,
I have a traffic court date appearance in NY on 5/13/2020 for a moving violation. Will it be rescheduled due to the covid-19 virus or should I appear in court on the above mentioned date?

I have a PA driver’s license. If found guilty, will there points added to my record?
Andrew,
If you are found guilty of a New York traffic ticket, points will NOT transfer onto your PA license.

My son recieved a speeding ticket and was going 41 mph over on the highway.We tried to plead guilty online but it said he must appear in person but didnt give him a date.What do i do? I want them to know he responded in time but not sure what happens now with the shutdown.
Louise A Caracci,
You son’s ticket has a “required appearance” because it is considered an excess speed. It carries 11 points and a possible suspension. We, therefore, do not recommend that he plead guilty.

I doubt that you’ll be this camera ticket. You’d have to show it was a true medical emergency, a tough burden.

Hi Matthew,
I have a tinted window ticket – and I want to plead not guilty. There is no option to do that online and the TVB offices are closed+ the DMV hotline / emails are not available.
It says my license will be suspended may 1st if I do not respond by that time.
Is there a way to plead not guilty now? Or am I forced to pay the fine?
Thank you!
Joe
JB,
Please check again. You should be able to plead not guilty to this ticket.
Matthew Weiss
I have a ticket to go to the court on April 3, but because the court has been closed, how can I know the new time to go to the court.Thank you
Winnie,
In NYC, you can find out your new date by visiting the NYC Traffic Violations Bureau website.
Matthew Weiss
Hi, my NY license is suspended because I did not pay a speeding ticket in time and the offices are now closed and it’s not allowing me to pay it online. What should I do? It does not say Traffic Violations Bureau on it. By reason of suspension it says FLD Answer Summons
Thanks
Shlomo K,
Unfortunately, at this point, you’ll need to wait for the courts to re-open.
Sorry.
