But ultimately, it's their word against mine.

As it stands, besides the fine and all, it's going to be 6 points. As a first time violator, with no previous moving/parking violations, what is the best I can do in terms of reducing the damage?

This is an expensive lesson learned, but I REALLY want to cut back on the loss. My dad has had this situation before and had a lawyer. Any other suggestions???

Thanks!!!
When you go in for your court date mention that it is your FIRST offense, and he will be more lenient. The cop usually determines how to knock it down based on your previous offenses.

Going to do a bump on this thread.

So my hearing has been postponed for the 2nd time. I was told to pay a $40 bond for the time being. Since the hearing is postponed till July 2013, is there any I can to for now?

I recently took a defensive driving course. Any our courses while I have a lot of free time in the spring/summer?

Thanks!

Fighting and beating highway cops is nearly impossible.....they are mightier than god.....
NYC and Suffolk is a no plea bargain counties....so that means its all or nothing.

Your only hope is that the cop doesnt show or get off on a technicality....

I have learned my lesson the hard way. 76 in a 50 on Grand Central near LaGuardia.....
