Navigating the unique and bustling streets of Brooklyn requires utmost care, but even the most careful drivers can occasionally be presented with a traffic ticket. Before you hastily clear that fine or consider the issue settled, it is paramount to understand the deeper repercussions of these tickets and how James Medows, an experienced Brooklyn Traffic Defense Attorney, can play a critical role in protecting your driving rights.
Speeding: In NY, speeding violations can result in heavy fines and points added to your license. The number of points you receive depends on how fast you were driving, how far over the limit, and where you were going. Points on your driver’s license can cause your insurance rates to increase, and you may even be required to take mandatory classes or community service.
Double Parking: In NYC, parking or standing in a bike lane can earn you a $115 fine for your first offense. Subsequent violations can raise the fine to $165. Blocking the Bike Lane: In Brooklyn, it is illegal to park or stand in a marked bike lane. A violation carries a fine of up to $165 for your first offense.
Cell Phone Use: In NYC, it is illegal to hold or operate a handheld device while you are on the road. It is also illegal to text and drive, and the penalties are stiff. Violations of this type can lead to expensive fines and can also result in the issuance of an in-person court summons, which can require you to appear before a judge.
