Yikes!!!! 82 MPH in the Hamptons

[suffulkguy71]

OK, can anyone help me? I got caught on Route 27 doing 82 , the trooper was hidden on a hill behind some trees & he clocked me with the laser. He claimed to have pulled me over before & asked if I remembered him . Anyways, this is my first ticket Is there anything I can do? Will going to defensive driving be an option?

Thank you!

New York Speeding Ticket

Will going to defensive driving be an option?

You can call the clerk of court and ask but I don't think that New York has a traffic school option. Usually your best bet with a New York State speeding ticket is to plead not guilty and request a deposition.

Normally there will be a pretrail hearing and the ADA will offer you a reduction. Of course if the officer does not furnish you the deposition you can go to court and make a motion for dismissal. You have 48 hours to send in the ticket with the boxes checked on the back. Be sure to do it CRRR and keep a copy of the ticket.

Got the deposition & the trial date

First of all, thank you lwpat for your help. I did what you said, I recieved the deposition & now I have the court date in like three weeks. I want to be fully prepared when I get there. What should I do?

Thank you again.
