Non-Speeding Tickets in New York City

Following are some of the types of traffic tickets our lawyers can handle:

• Reckless Driving: Reckless driving is a serious traffic offense where a driver operates a vehicle with a blatant disregard for the safety of others. This can include excessive speeding, weaving in and out of traffic, or driving aggressively. Reckless driving is often considered a misdemeanor and can lead to severe penalties, including fines, points on the driver's license, and possibly jail time.
• Failing to Stop for a School Bus: When a school bus has its stop sign extended and lights flashing, vehicles are required by law to stop. Failing to do so is a significant violation, as it endangers the safety of children boarding or exiting the bus. This violation can result in hefty fines, points on a driver's license, and potential license suspension.
• Red Light Violations: Running a red light occurs when a driver proceeds through an intersection after the traffic signal has turned red. This is a common moving violation that can lead to accidents, often resulting in serious injury or property damage. Penalties for red light violations include fines and points on the driver’s license.
• Inadequate Brakes: Driving with brakes that are not properly functioning is illegal and highly dangerous. Vehicles with inadequate brakes pose a significant risk of causing accidents. If a driver is ticketed for this violation, they may face fines and be required to repair the brakes to ensure the vehicle is safe to operate.
• Leaving the Scene of an Accident (Causing Property Damage or Injuring an Animal): Drivers are legally required to stop and report accidents involving property damage or injury to an animal. Leaving the scene without doing so is a criminal offense. Penalties for this violation can range from fines and points on a license to criminal charges, depending on the severity of the incident.
• Seatbelt Violations: Seatbelt laws require drivers and passengers to wear seatbelts while the vehicle is in motion. Failing to do so is a common violation that can result in fines. Seatbelt violations are often enforced through primary or secondary laws, depending on the state.
• Following Too Closely: Tailgating, or following another vehicle too closely, is a violation that increases the risk of rear-end collisions. Drivers are required to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of them. This violation typically results in fines and points on the driver’s license.
• Failing to Yield the Right of Way: Drivers must yield the right of way to other vehicles or pedestrians when required by traffic laws. Failing to do so can lead to accidents, especially at intersections or crosswalks. This violation often results in fines and points on a driver’s license.
• Stop Sign Violations: Failing to come to a complete stop at a stop sign is a common traffic violation. Drivers are required to stop fully and check for oncoming traffic before proceeding. Violating this rule can lead to fines, points on a driver’s license, and increased insurance rates.
• All Other Moving Violations: This category includes various other traffic offenses that involve the movement of a vehicle. Examples include improper lane changes, illegal U-turns, and failure to signal. These violations can result in fines, points on the driver’s license, and potential increases in insurance premiums.
