88mph in 45mph ny

Speeding tickets in New York come with the possibility of jail time.

ANY traffic infraction carries up to 15 days of jail time, however that does not entitle the defendant to a public defender.

I wasn't referring the the "case" but his hearing on the resulting suspension. Even if he's tried in court rather than the TVB, his hearing on the resulting suspension due to points is going to be with a DMV ALJ.

Maybe you know something that I don't, but I've never heard of this. When you accumulate the points your license is suspended. I see no basis for any hearing - if the issue is whether the guilty verdicts or pleas are valid then that is decided by whatever courts are involved not the DMV.

The only hearings that I know of that are presided over by a DMV ALJ (besides TVB hearings) are DWI refusal hearings.

If you have a reference for this I'd like to see it (I have not checked the DMV website for lack of time).

Hmmm, I just checked and see that you are apparently correct. I can't really see any basis for these hearings - as long as the convictions are there the points are assessed.

I can't imagine what goes on at these hearings.

I recently got pulled over going 43over. When it happened the officer was coming the opposite direction speeding his self. I dont believe I was going 88 at all but as we all know the officer is never wrong.

I have 3points on my license already but im going to do a online defensive driving to get those taken care of. Then I'll hand in my ticket.

Im just real nervous because I know it can be automatic suspension.

Please any advice will go a long way.

Also state is New York

The best thing to do is plea not guilty. since the officer wrote you were rushing to get your inhaler(given you have no history), best thing that would happen here is DA not asking too many question pre-trial and either throwing the ticket our or give you something that is not going to get you suspended.

First of all you need to write so that we can understand you.

Secondly, you have no idea what you are talking about. There is no district attorney in traffic cases and not many prosecutors would accept that poor excuse.

Get familiar with public transportation just incase "your grand plan" falls apart
Good Luck.

I will reiterate that defendants in traffic cases are not entitled to public defenders.
