Hi All,
I received 3 New York State - DMV - Uniform Traffic Ticket.
1) Speeding at 75MPH in 55 MPH Zone in HOV Lane.
Supporting Deposition shows that it was based on Direct Observation with speed verified by PACE for 1/2 Mile.
My Comment/Observation: At 9 AM, I was traveling on the HOV lane with pretty much the same pace as the rest of the vehicles on the interstate that were in the non-HOV lane and I doubt/don't know I was speeding. I did not ask the police officer how they know I was speeding (if I were) and how fast I was going at the time I was pulled over.
2) FLD/YLD Right-of-Way to Emergency Vehicle
Supporting Deposition shows that it was based on Direct Observation and that the police vehicle was behind me with lights and siren on for 1/2 Mile and had to pull in front of me to stop vehicle.
My Comment/Observation: As soon as I heard the Siren, I slowed down and signal to try to change to the right lanes so I can pull to the highway's right shoulder / nearest exit - but I was on the Right most lane - a HOV Lane with solid white line dividing it from the "regular" non-HOV lanes. - which cannot be passed until "HOV exit / entrance dotted lines" are marked on the ground. Since I have slowed down, I could not change to the right lane in a safe manner because of other faster traffic in the "Regular" non-HOV Lane. The police vehicle changed lane before I had a chance to and passed my vehicle and stop me in the front. After the officer stopped me he got out and asked me to move my vehicle so that mine is in front of his. I had to drive/squeeze my vehicle in the limited space between the Police car and the highway concrete divider squeeze my vehicle. There is not enough space on the left of the HOV lane to stop/slow down my vehicle to allow another car pass.
3) Operating without Insurance
Supporting Deposition shows that it was based on Direct Observation and "Upon request of documentation, no documents were produced."
My Comment/Observation: Because usually I don't drive this car, I didn't know that the glove box doesn't have an insurance ID card in it. (But I'm pretty sure it has insurance)
Please advise what to do as these are the first tickets that I have gotten in my 10+ years of driving - I don't even have any parking violation. Thank you.
