I live in New York and was charged in New Jersey with not reporting an accident. The prosecutor is offering a plea where I would pay a fine but get no points or suspension in New Jersey. If I plead guilty, could New York suspend my license after it receives the conviction?Anonymous · December 15, 2024 · 1 reply
