What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New Jersey
1. I and my neighbor tried to test his vehicle in Highland Park (my neighbor has more than 5 drive license). When I drove the car from a parallel park place, my neighbor was sitting at the right seat. Unfortunately, the right head of our car scrubbed the left back of a front vehicle. Since my car at that time has entered the road and blocked the traffic. So we moved forward the car some distance to avoid the traffic and then forthwith returned to original place of my cars. When we returned, however, a witness has called the police. Then we waited for the police.
2. After several minutes, the police came and inquired us and the witness. I explained police about the whole accident “No any injury, we forthwith returned the scene and waited for police; I showed learning permit”. Although I didn’t take my learning permit at that time of accident, but I immediately token out learning permit from my home amd show it to officer, he wrote down the Number of learning permit in the ticket. The police finally gave me two tickets: One is “Unlicensed driver”, another is “leaving the scene”.
I want to plead not guilty and did not affect my drive license application. How can I do it? Whether do I need to hire a lawyer to defense it? Whether is it possible to be degrade the charges into two minor offense. “Unlicensed driver” into “failure to exhibit documents” ; and “leaving the scene” into “failure to report accident”?
