Legal Question in Traffic Law in New York

Ticket for passing a school bus 2 years ago

I got a ticket for this more than two years ago. I have a NYS driver's license, but I am working outside of the country. I just got a notice that the DMV is going to revoke my license because of this ticket. Is there anyway to fight this and do I need to be in NY to fight it or can I hire a lawyer to do it for me? Thx.

That's what lawyers are for...

In most cases you can sign a waiver authorizing your attorney to act on your behalf.

What court? In some even a waiver isn't required.

Pleading not guilty and requesting a hearing is always recommended. The driver can benefit by having a hearing. More often, however, the ticket can be resolved through the mail. Hiring an experienced traffic attorney in the area that understands the local court system and the NY V&T 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. Please contact my firm and I would be happy to assist.
