What is the name of your state? NJ
Hi, My name is Dan. I have held a pretty clean record for about 3 years now, but recently i have been pulled over for speeding....twice within 30 days of one and other. 15mph the first time (in a 65mph zone) and 16mph the second time. Both offenses are 4 point violations...my question is: Is it possible to get the points lowered (without hiring a lawyer)?
I know that i can plea down to an unsafe driving offense (39:4-97.2) but in Feb 2004 i was in an accident and was charged with reckless driving, i pleaed that down to an unsafe driving violation (no points). now if i plea one ticket down to unsafe driving, that will be my second offense within 5 years (as stated in the law), and if i plea the other ticket down also, that will be my third offense in 5 years and i will be charged with 4 points an the points from prior offenses, correct?
I was hoping to maybe plea down to somthing else instead....i would really like not to get any points, but if i have to get points, how can i get less then 8
Ultamatly, what are all of my options??
Thank you so much everyone!!
Dan
