Need some Help with a Ticket
 

If this is in wrong section sorry mods.

So my mother got pulled over for speeding, and the cop told her not to worry about it and that he will give her a ticket with no points and its worth 85 dollars. My mother re-confirmed with the cop and asked if its no points and he assured her its no points.

So my mom brings the ticket home, i look it up and the ticket is for failure to keep right...what does that even mean, well its a two point ticket. The ticket is 185 and its worth 2 points. Its not a speeding ticket but its still two points and my moms english is lacking so taking care of it. I would like to see if i can get the no points and just pay the ticket but im not too sure, ive never gotten a moving violation ticket so im really not sure.

So what should I do in this situation, Im really not sure what to do here. As in would it better to eat the two points instead of argueing or if its better to see what my options are?

i would take it to the village that issued the ticket and see wat they say.

the last ticket i got was over 10yrs ago so i could careless about minor points like that though. and 85 is cheap for a speeding ticket.

Get a traffic lawyer involved, they can usually cut deals to keep points away from the equation.

Just to let you know, failure to keep right = driving on the left side of the road, aka fast lane aka passing lane. In NJ, the left lane is supposed to be for passing only I believe.

you can probably bring it down to an unsafe driving which means 0 points but its expensive and you can only do 2 unsafe drivings every 5 years...personal experience :shakes head:

You are correct. I've been pulled over in Texas for cruising in the left lane. Left is for passing only.

NJ is one of those states that gets your money any way they can, wether it be tolls or tickets, they want that money.

Sigh I got the officers name so I'm calling the police department today or tmr

Does she know that the left lane is for higher speed? I would contest the ticket in court. The judge has the authority to lower the ticket. I would not get a lawyer for something like this unless she has a CDL or something like that.

This happened to me not more than a month ago on I-10 more than halfway to El Paso from San Antonio. I explained that the right lane was making the Z difficult to control at speed - it was in terrible condition. He was very nice about it and only gave me a warning.

This. It'll still probably cost the same once it's all said and done, but they do the legwork for you and they keep the points/insurance out of it. Ask in your regional subforum for a good traffic lawyer and keep his info on file.

I know a good traffic lawyer I can get the info if u like and give it to u tomorrow?
