Hey all,
So, after 10+ years of spotless driving, I got a speeding ticket. I was cited for going 74 in a 50 on the Palisades Parkway in New Jersey. I'm a New York licensed driver. This would be a 4 point infraction.
So I contacted a few law firms that all said they could plea bargain this down to a zero point infraction, "unsafe driving".
I don't care about the fine, I'm concerned with the points and what they'll to me re: surcharges and insurance rates.
So my question is, is this a good move? Assume that I have neither the time nor energy to fight this. Also, I've heard the traffic court of the Palisades Pkwy is one of the worst in the country.
I'm basically looking to find out if having an "unsafe driving" on my record is better than having a speeding 24 over on my record.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
Regards
Steve
