What is the name of your state? New York
I received a speeding ticket in November of '05 which gave me 6 points on my license (26 miles over posted speed limit)- I pleaded guilty and just paid the fine and then a portion ($100 of $300 fine) of the Driver repsponsibility Assessment. This past Thursday, March 8, 2006, I received another speeding ticket which will give me 4 points on my license (20 miles over speed limit) and also received a No Seat Belt ticket which will add another 2 points to my license for a total of 12 points equalling a suspended license. Should I plea Not Guilty to see if my recent tickets and points can be reduced in court? If I plead Not Guilty, should I have a lawyer with me when I go to court or does the court automatically assign a lawyer on your hearing date?
I took a driver's safety course last year (April '05) in order to get my motorcycle license. Do you think it would benefit me to take another safety course prior to my court date to show that I am making an effort to be a safer driver???
Thank you for any advice you can provide.
