Speeding ticket in ny!!

[Precisionmotors]

So I'm on my way home from Geneva NY yesterday on Rt 17 traveling with a pack of about 5 cars, me being the last one in the pack. The speed limit is 65mph and we are all doing around 80mph. I figured since I was the last one in the pack I had nothing to worry about, all of a sudden we see a state trooper and everybody slams on their brakes, sure enough out of all 5 people I get pulled over and get a speeding ticket for 80 in a 65. My questions is; does anyone know if DMV points will carry over to NJ. I don't mind paying the fine, but I really don't want my insurance to go up, and I'm not about to drive 4 hours up there to court to fight it.

i know that if you have a NYS license and get a ticket in another state (including within the tri-state area) points are not added to your record.
so i would assume that it would be the same the other way

I hope so, thanks

almost the same thing happened to me last sunday in LA. I was 2nd in a pack of 3, in the 2 lane on the 405 at 6:30am....doing 80, right along with traffic....state trooper...flew up and picked me out of the group and gave me the ticket.....i know i was targeted....

NY does not report tickets to other states.

[Precisionmotors]

Thats great news!! I don't really care about the fine, I just don't want my insurance to go up. I guess that's one of the few down sides to having the nicest car in a line of traffic, cops always pick us Porsche owners out first.

I second that, NY does not report to NJ.

Usually the last car in the pack is traveling the fastest. I would not waste the money on speedlaw or an attorney until you went to see if or what reduction would be offered without an attorney.

[Precisionmotors]

I'm just gonna send the money in. It happened over 4 hours away from home, so there isn't a chance in hell I'm driving all the way up there again.

I was busted for 80 in a 65 north of lake george about a month and a half ago. I plead not guilty through the mail and then asked for a 'reduction in offense' due to a perfect driving record. They came back with 'failure to obey a traffic signal' (2points instead of 4) and a much lower fine.

Yes points transfer to NJ. Only 2 points transfer no matter how many points your NY offense was.

I received the same "reduction" from a State Trooper. 70 in a 55, but he wrote me up for "failure to obey posted sign" or something of that nature.

The joke was that although the fine itself was ~$80.00, NY State slaps on another ~$80 for a court/admin fee or some such nonsense...nice revenue generator

[Precisionmotors]

So which one is it, do the points transfer or not?

Even though you are a New Jersey driver, you can still acquire points and penalties for violations committed in other states. New Jersey is a member of two compacts that enforce this policy.


The Driver License Compact

• Consists of 45 states and the District of Columbia. States not included are Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, Tennessee and Wisconsin
• Members in this compact exchange all violation information. Out-of-state moving violations are worth two points. For example, if you receive a speeding ticket in Florida, you will get two points on your New Jersey driving record for that violation

The Nonresident Violator Compact

• Consists of 44 states and the District of Columbia. States not included are Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon and Wisconsin
• Assures nonresident motorists the same rights and privileges as residents
• Nonresident drivers have due process protection and cannot be detained out-of-state
• Requires drivers to fulfill the terms of traffic citations received in member states or face the possibility of license suspension in their home state
• Does not apply to parking or standing violations, highway weight limit violations and violations of Hazmat transportation laws

NY points don't transfer over, but looks like NJ assesses 2 points administratively.
