What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NJ
I recently got a ticket for careless driving in a construction zone. The zone was not clearly marked and and I would not have driven into the lane if it had been. The cop was not interested in what I had to say and gave me the ticket. The ticket says I do not need to appear in court and when I called the court to find out the fine, the person told me all I have to do it pay it. However, I do not know if there are points associated with this. I have never had a ticket in my life and have no idea what to do. Do I just pay it, go to the court date and try to get points reduced or eliminated, or pay it along with a letter and hope no points are charged? I would like to pay a fine and not have any points. Thanks.
