Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York
Hello. I declined an offer to reduce a stop sign ticket to a parking ticket. Now I am scheduled for a trial soon.
Since then, I've learned my auto insurance discount for safe driving will be cancelled if I am found guilty. Not to mention that I've been advised that it would be my word vs. the patrolman - and that the judge would likely favor the patrolman. I have a clean license.
The fine for the parking ticket is a 'deal' compared to the long term impact a guilty charge/points would have on my insurance.
Must I proceed with the trial? - Is there any way to back up and accept the parking ticket? ~ Thanks for your insight and advice.
