I have a perfect driving record and have been driving for 47 years in Nassau County. I have a 2015 vehicle. In November my foot got caught on the console by the brake (reason for the recall) and I stopped past a stop sign that around a curb. An officer stopped me at the next traffic light and gave me a ticket for "disobeying a stop sign".Coincidently I had a free inspection at the dealer the day after and was told about the recall and he repaired it.The recall was discovered in August and I wasn't notified at that time. It's six months since the ticket and I had my conference at the court and I refused the fine although there would be no points. The negotiator claimed the judge may not accept this as a could reason however I see that it was no neglect of my own and my diligence in servicing my car remedied the situation sooner then not. Is there any other codes or factors I can site to make my case stronger?
