If any of you remember my previous 2 posts about this you're probably like, "This is STILL going??" Well the woman at the court FINALLY has some information on my ticket. I guess everyone's back from vacation and back in order after Irene...

In Response to NWR: speeding ticket:
[QUOTE]Quick recap: Was going 50 in a 25 (I thought it was 45 but that was 1/4 miles ahead of me) and got a ticket requiring court appearance.
Posted by xstarx05x[/QUOTE]

So she confirmed that my court date was supposed to be tomorrow, but she said it will be rescheduled for the 21st since they never confirmed it until today. I asked her to send me a letter...

In Response to I hate speeding tickets!! :(
[QUOTE]Has anyone had to go to court for a speeding violation before? It was double the limit... I know that's not good... Can they suspend my license??  
Posted by xstarx05x[/QUOTE]

She also said the judge pretty much always suspends your license if you go double the speed limit... but she recommended that I plead "Not Guilty," and then I would have another court date and I think she said a prosecutor would then help me negotiate? Anyone familiar with this? help... :( TIA

    I think the situation depends on the town you got the ticket in. I got a speeding ticket for going 70 in a 50 (I was really going 80 but the cop felt bad) and when I went to court the prosecutor said I could pay $x.xx and have no points no suspension or $x.x and have some points or $x and take a lot of points. All I had to do was go ion front of the judge with the prosecutor and he took care of it. I know A LOT of people who have gotten pulled over for speeding and this has usually been the case. 

    If you were advised that the judge is tough, i would try to speak with an attorney (or when you have your 1st court date, the prosecutor)  if you really need your license.

    Thanks for the advice :) I remember people saying in My previous posts that I would get to talk to the prosecutor prior to trial. I know my mom has a good lawyer but was trying not to get her involved (lots of other stuff on my mom's plate right now). I wish someone could come with me to chat with someone from the court again before the trial, I'm so not good at this stuff. It's Bound Brook btw. Cops has a rep for being real sticklers there (and apparently the judge too)

    Yes, you need to plead not guilty, and talk to the prosecutor.

    I got a ticket for doing 42 in a 25. I went to court pleaded not guilty and talked to the prosecutor which led to me paying $500.00 and walking out with my license and no points.
