NJ Speeding Ticket

I was driving home from Michigan aftter the Thanksgiving holiday and I was so tired! I got pulled over for going 80 in a 65 mile zone I explained to the trooper I was tired and so sorry my license is clean, but my dd needed to use the bathroom I was trying to get to the next exit. Of course I got a ticket anyway.

Does anyone know if NY recognizes NJ violations?

Also fyi-I donate to a trooper association, and I had a sticker on my car. The trooper was like I've never heard of them so I felt scammed too!

Re: NJ Speeding Ticket

what do you mean, if you could pay it in NY?

Re: NJ Speeding Ticket

No matter where you get the ticket- it goes on your licesnce- so yes NY will see it...

Re: NJ Speeding Ticket

I got a ticket in NJ a couple years ago. 75 in 55 on Route 80 approaching the GWB.

I paid it via mail and never noticed NYS motor vehicles contacting me saying points were being issued. Not sure if they would though.

I believe new laws were being put into effect that was going to link all of the DMV offices nationwide but I don't know if that happened yet.

Just found this on NYS DMV web site



If I get a ticket for a moving violation in another state, do I receive points on my NYS driver license?
The NYSDMV does not record out-of-state violations committed by NYS drivers in other jurisdictions. The exceptions are alcohol-related violations, drug-related violations, and moving violations committed in Quebec or Ontario. Under special agreements, traffic convictions in Quebec or Ontario are recorded on NYS driver license records and carry points. Except for violations in Ontario and Quebec, points are not added to your NYS record for out-of-state violations.

If you do not respond to a ticket or fail to pay a fine for a moving violation that you committed in any state except Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon or Wisconsin, the DMV suspends your NYS driver license until you respond to the ticket or pay the fine. If a driver from a state except these six states fails to respond to a traffic ticket issued in NYS, their driver license will be suspended until the driver responds to the traffic ticket in NYS.

Drivers from other states must contact the DMV in their home state to get information about the effect of a traffic violation conviction that occurs in NYS.

If you receive a conviction for an alcohol-related or drug-related driving violation in any state, your NYS driver license is revoked for at least six months.
