What is the name of your state?
New Jersey
I was driving in a parking lot to get a parking spot (the place was car-packed) and some pedestrians as well. I reduced speed in a STOP sign but did not completely stop, then made a turn into a drive way to go to the parking lot to get a spot.
I was ticketed for two things. One wreckless driving, since he says that I did not stop in the stop sign (true) but I speed into the driveway to get the spot (not true) and put the live of many citizen in danger (dramatic isn't it?).
The other was for not having the correct documentation. I am from out of country and I have a valid license from another country and I am in the process of completing my valid US license (I have a permit, waiting for the driving test), Usually I don't drive, my wife does, and she has a valid License.
The permit I have has a driver's ID number (license number, start with D01234...) when the officer Issued the ticket (both) he did not include this number and said that I don't have a driver's license (they told me I can drive with this permit with a someone that has a valid license).
another thing is that the car I was driving it's a friend of ours, since ours was in the shop. So the insurance and all other documents are under his name and I am not included in the policy.
no fine was issue at the place, I have to go to court to settle the matter.
are this ticket invalid since the information is missing?
how much could this cost me? (worst case scenario)
will they issue point to my license? (even if it is a permit?)
this is the first time I get a fine and I drive in the state, will they consider that I am still in process?
the only charge I know I am guilty of is not stopping on the STOP sign (for what I unwillinly will pay), but all other charges I am not guilty of.
what is my case here?
