NY Ticket

[Mduc]

My brother in-law purchased his first bike an FZ6. Since he bought it from Long Island and we live in NJ, he asked me if I can ride it home for him. Everything was good until a cop pulled me over because it did not have a lisence plate. I gave him all the paper work which I had in my jacked and it was all fine. But since nothing was wrong he said I was doing 70 in a 50mph zone. I say its bullshit but arguing wont do anything. He have me a ticket. It says on the back that it will be 90 dollars. I dont mind paying the ticket since its not that much but will I get points on my NJ lisence when I got a speeding ticket in NY?

Just trying to figure out if its worth the hassle of going to court. If no points I would just pay but if I will get points cause of this I will want to go to court.

Anyone know if I will get points on this one?

Sorry bro, I think you will be getting some points:

Even if you don't get points in New Jersey if you get enough points in NY you can loose your privilege to operate a motor vehicle in NY.  If the ticket was not written in NYC you may be able to plea bargain.

If the case is not worth his fee he will tell you.

Pakhan on this board also has someone who works both sides of the river.  PM him.

Hmm thats a tought one. So I would get two points. My insurance doesn't go up unless its more than two but two or less and its stays put. If this was somewhere closer I would definately go and fight this without thinking but taking a day off and wasting a day god knows where in the city is not appealing.

The thing is that on the back of the ticket I am in the second category 11-20mph so even if I go to court and they reduce lets say from 4 points to 2 I still get 2 in NJ. This will be the same as just getting 2 without fighting and paying court fees.

If it's only 2 point you can rid of that through a defensive driving course, I don't know how that works though for tickets from out of state where the points transfer.
