Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York

Unfortunately, the wrong state on the ticket for the plate is not a fatal defective. A disobey red light ticket is a 3-point ticket that carries roughly a $250 fine for a first offense. The fines for second and third offenses increase substantially. It also can adversely affect your insurance rates if you have any other convictions (or an accident) on your record within the last 36 months. We, therefore, recommend that you plead not guilty and fight this ticket. If you do, you may be able to save NY points, and avoid an insurance rate increase (assuming you have an otherwise clean record).
