My car was left by a family member parked on the sidewalk and was accumulating many tickets. If I didn't move the car it was going to be towed . At the time of moving the car some lady decided to put her toes under the moving vehicle. Cops was called and I received a no insurance and a no registration ticket. I work for New Jersey Transit and need my license to work . What's the odds of me getting a dismissal or lowered penalty?Anonymous · July 1, 2024 · 1 reply

No insurance is one of the worst tickets you can get. A conviction is mandatory revocation. There are some possible defenses, though, in your case.

If you plead guilty, then your license will be revoked for a year. This is a ticket that must be fought in order to save your license.

This should have been handled by an attorney from day one. At this point, the best bet is to file an appeal and request a Stay on the revocation. An attorney can help.
