Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York
I received a speeding ticket-going 72 in a 55-I had just gotten off the NYS Thruway that has a 65mph speed limit-I reset my cruise control at 70 thinking it was 65--Do I have to appear since I live 2 1/2 hours away and have 2 jobs it will be hard on me-Do I plead guilty and send a explanation to defend my case?

you could hire a lawyer to appear on your behalf and try to fight the ticket without the necessity of your appearance. Which county was the ticket issued?
As was stated you can retain an attorney to represent you in your absense. A competant attorney might be able to eliminate or reduce the points assessed on your drivers license. If you send in a guilty plea you may saVE MONEY TODAY BUT YOU MAY CAUSE YOUR INSURANCE RATES TO GO UP SO, YOU MUST MAKE A FINANCIAL DECISION. yOU MAY CONTACT MY OFFICE @ 7188340087 FOR A free PHONE CONSULTATION.
A 72/55 carries 4 points and roughly a $200 fine. It can also adversely affect your insurance rates. We, therefore, recommend that you fight this ticket. If you do, you likely can save points and avoid an insurance hike. If you hire a traffic lawyer, then you will NOT have to appear in court. He or she can appear for you. Feel free to call us for a free consultation. We appear in all the courts along NYS Thruway.
