Hey All,
Need some advice on a stack of slips I got last night...
Here goes:
Speeding 30+ over the limit 5 pts (80mph in 50mph)
Careless Driving 2 pts
Racing on Highway 5 pts
Cracked windshield
Obstructed plate(A license plate frame :-/)
My first ever set of tickets ever, so I went out with a bang. All after being behind the wheel for 10 years.... And within the 3rd week of having 4.10's...
Luckily Im an NY resident so the points dont carry over, but I don't want my license suspended in NJ(I drive there every day) so I'm asking the forum what the best way to go is/strategy to possibly keep my license...
Would I be eligible for the one time 2 point reduction(since its my first offense) in order to bring the sum of points down? Any chance at a plea bargain?
I realize the basics(wear suit, be polite to the prosecutor etc...) and also that this being my first ever offense might work in my favor, but any help will be appreciated. A lawyer wants $850 to represent me with no guarantees so I think I might try to do this on my own, since it will be a crap-load of money already.
Thanks SVTP and before I put my flamesuit on, let me just say that the other dude was losing(and got the same tickets I was issued...)
