Legal Question in Traffic Law in New Jersey

Tickets

I have three moving violation tickets that have been active for the last three years. I no longer live here in the USA and I am trying to setttle them despite the fact that the court keeps pushing them back. How can I settle these tickets and also, is there a statute of limitations for the tickets?

Re: Tickets

If you are not here, you need to get an attorney to help you resolve them, they will not go away, they only get worse. I found 2 tickets on my car in Philly in 1986. I sent them in with a letter explaining I was only there a little over an hour, and can't get 2 tickets, so I sent in payment for 1 of them... I kept getting notices for the second ticket, so I called... I should have read more carefully... the second ticket was one someone put on my car that they received. I put the ticket numbers on my check and only 1 was for my car, and naturally, they credited the payment toward the other ticket, not mine! It was supposedly "straightened out" a couple times, but the ticket notices STILL find me, 22 years later! Call an attorney!

Re: Tickets

I suggest you call an attorney to help you. I don't see how else you can do much without one. There is no SoL in this context. That only applies for the service of the ticket, not the disposal. You do have speedy trial rights, but I wouldn't really go there yet with this.
