HOLY CARP!!!

Anyone know the standard price of a ticket if you plead guilty to "following too close" in NY State (upstate - I'm not sure of the County, but anywhere in NY will do for a ballpark). Mister Soak may have gotten pulled over on his way home from Rochester this evening. They don't tell you the cost of the ticket when they give it to you, so we're curious.

It's about 100.00 in most counties I googled up, but there are often surcharges that usually get you closer to 200.00, at least near where I work. Does he live locally, or can return for a court appearance? Many traffic cases are either pled down or dismissed. It would really pay to appear if he's a NY State resident. That's a four point violation, and it would pay to get it downgraded. I'm NOT trying to play attorney... but I've had great luck with (too many) NY traffic court appearances!

Nah. He lives in MA. So he's not worried about the NY point violation (though knows he'll take a hit on his MA license.) He'll likely just pay the fine. Thanks! |
