Legal Answers
2 Questions Answered
- Q. Got speeding ticket in NYC last yr but I have since moved out of state, if guilty would the points transfer to new state
- A: If you are convicted in NY, NY "should" report the conviction to your new state. Check with your new state (you didn't specify which one) whether they will record the reported conviction, or not.
- Q. Is an open container charge in NY considered a misdemeanor?
- A: No, its a traffic infraction.
- Q. I got a speeding ticket of 118 in a 65 am I going to lose my license
- A: Another good question is whether you are going to jail. It depends! Not if you aren't convicted. Lots of additional facts are needed here. The City, village or town where you were charged, your prior record, how old you are, and more.
