District of Columbia  |  Traffic Law

I received a red eye DC moving violation ticket. It says "no Points". I live in NJ and called NJDMV and they said if I plead guilty, when the moving violation transfers I will be assesed two points.

It is unknown at the time who was driving with a friend from NJ.

On the ticket I have three options: 1) request a hearing 2) Request mail adjudication but wave right then to inperson hearing or 3) State my vehicle was not stolen but was not in my custody , are or control at time of infraction. for this defense fill out name of driver and drivers license number.

Question: What should I do?

It takes 6 hrs to drive to DC.

Should I request in the adjundication to have them reduce it to a parking violation?

Do you know any relatively less expensive attorney who can show up for me to have it reduce?
