What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
This past Saturday I was pulled over for speeding. The officer was nice enough to let me off on the speeding infraction but ticketed me for being an unlicensed operator. My driver's license expired 3 weeks ago. Clearly my fault and I fully admit negligence by not renewing it in time. I went down to the DMV yesterday (1st day the DMV was open since the ticket) and made good on the DL so I am a legal driver again. Should I just plead guilty and take what the court gives me or should I go with a not guilty plea and see if they can take it easy on me? This is my 1st offence- never had a speeding ticket or other infraction. Not bad for an 18 year driving record. Any advice on what I should do?
Thanks in advance!
