RINGING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH LESS STRESS ON THE ROADS
Ringing in the New Year with Less Stress on the Roads
As we say goodbye to another year and look ahead to new beginnings in 2024, I wanted to provide some hopeful wishes as well as practical advice to my fellow New Yorkers about navigating our busy streets and avoiding traffic tickets.
My New Year’s Wish for You
My number one wish for 2024 is for all drivers to make safety your top priority. Our streets are only getting more congested. Do your part by allowing extra commute time, putting the phone away, and obeying speed limits so we can reduce accidents. I wish everyone patience and care in the coming year.
My Advice for Beating Traffic Tickets
If you do get an unfortunate ticket in 2024, don’t panic. Fight it strategically instead of paying right away. Here are my top tips for beating your NYC traffic violation:
• Hire an experienced traffic ticket attorney! Legal expertise gives you the best shot. Don’t go it alone.
• Check for officer errors on the ticket and raise them in court. Missing information can get your case dismissed.
• In courts that offer, Negotiate plea bargains with the prosecutor ahead of time when possible to reduce fines and points.
• Get dashboard camera footage if available to dispute officer accounts. Video evidence holds weight.
• Prepare a short but compelling defense to quickly present before the judge. Practice explaining it clearly.
With some luck and the right legal strategy, you can resolve traffic tickets without too much added stress or financial pain. Here’s to more awareness and safety for all in the new year! Reach out if I can help with a traffic case – happy to assist fellow New Yorkers whenever possible. Wishing everyone a 2024 full of good health and happiness!
