What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY
My son is 16 and has his Junior license. He was a few hours from home and pulled to the side of the road to change a flat. He didn't judge correctly and went into a ditch, got himself out and a policemen showed up. He gave him a ticket for crossing "hazard markings." We did not fight it because we could not travel the distance to court. So we pled guilty. Then we get a letter from NYS DMV that his Junior license has been suspended for 2 months beginning 3 weeks from now and at the end of that time he will start his 6 month probation over again.
However, he has taken driver ed and has his certificate that allows him to get his senior license when he turns 17 which is in one week. We haven't turned in the driver ed paperwork yet. He had his junior license before he completed driver ed.
Questions:
should we turn in the driver ed paperwork now so that he gets his senior license before he has to turn in his license?
With a senior license will he still have it suspended? Also, will he still have a 6 month probation with a senior license?
Or should we wait until the 2 month suspension is up before turning in the paperwork for his senior license?
Also, the ticket states "Crossing over hazard markings", the letter from the dmv states that the conviction was for "driving across "no passing' markings" is that the same thing? HELP!!!!
Had we known this would be such a serious offense we would have obtained a lawyer. However, hindsight is 20/20.
