What is the name of your state? NJ
Hi,
I recently moved from PA (philadelphia) to South Jersey.
About 4 days ago, I was coming down on Evesham street, and took a short-cut through a parking lot. I didn't notice there was any sign or law forbidding that - though I hear there is one there.
I drove up to my drive-way and was about to step out of my car when I realized a cop had pull up behind me on my driveway. He asked me to remain inside my vehicle , which I did.
He then went on to explain that I had violated the law (39:4-66.2) by "Avoiding Traffic Control Signal or Sign" and gave me a ticket.
I intend to fight it or at least plea bargain.
-- Is it possible to get any defence for this?
-- I thought the cop is supposed to stop me at the time of the incident and give me a ticket....is it legal for him to follow me to my door step and hand me a conviction?
-- what would be the implication of this ticket when I get my NJ license? Would the record transfer over from PA or would it remain in NJ and catch up with me once I get a license here?
Thanks in advance -- Dan
