Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York

I recently got pulled over and cited for doing 60 in a 45 in Oswegatchie, NY. I kow that I wasn't doing more than 50 when the officer passed me in the opposite direction. Does anyone know what sort of fine I'm looking at if I plead guilty? I live in Toronto, ON, Canada and it would take me about 4 hours to get back there to go to court.

Thanks in advance.

Pleading not guilty and requesting a hearing is always recommended. Hiring an experienced traffic attorney in the area that understands the law is vital to not only trying to win, but to keep your insurance premiums lower for years to come. Paying a little today may save you two or three times in the future.

Our firm handles these types of issues and would be happy to help. I would need to review the ticket and see what can be done. Normally, a ticket of this sort can be plea bargained to reduce the fine, depending upon your driving record. Generally, you can expect a fine of around $150.

Please contact my firm and I would be happy to assist.

The fine is about $150 to $200 US. We can help and you will not have to come to court. We represent many Ontario drivers and are familiar with the Ontario demerit system. We often can get 0 points for this type of ticket for our Ontario clients. Feel free to call me at 212@6837373 or visit our web site: nytrafficticket.com for further information.
