Suspension hearing results

So I had my "prehearing conference" at the Wayne DMV this morning... first some background for those of you who dont know

New law says if you get 2 or more violations totalling 4 or more points in the first 2 years of drivng you have to go to a DMV class, this class removes 3 points and puts you on probation for one year. I was told in the class that this probation meant that you can't get any points... well that cop lied, as I found out.

5 months after that class... April 6, going home one day from school to get stuff, guy in bergenfiled stops short for a left turn, I dont have enough time to stop, BAM rear end him. Jersey law put me at fault by default, I get a careless driving ticket. Go to court and gt it reduced to a 0 point unsafe driving, think I'm fine, then the DMV says that probation was for any violation, nd because it was less than 6 months from the class I have a 90 day suspension. I said **** that I am going to try to fight it cuz hey, it can't hurt. Got the hearing date postponed so I could drive during the summer lol, that brings us to today.



I told the DMV caseworker what happened, she asked me about the ticket/accident, college and stuff, then said "well the purpose of this prehearing conference is to try to resolve the matter, otherwise it goes to court and a judge. Here's what I'll do: 20 day suspension instead, and when your license is restored ($100 fee) you will be on probation for a year." I say I won't push my luck and 20 days really isn't too long, so agree to it, beginning on the 17th so I can move everything into school, and so I can get it back the weekend right before my birthday. Won't be too bad since I'll be in school that whole time. Sooo yea that worked out relatively well.

at least it was just a little pin prick...you can deal with 20 days fairly easily...probably better off then having to take more time out to go infront of a judge at this point.

you better fill up right before you lose it, otherwise you'll pay a lot more 20 days later!

Well it sucks that you still lost your license, but 3 weeks isn't as bad as 3 months.

i agree. Â*first time i've heard of a mediator for traffic court, though.

p.s. whenever you are involved in an accident and get a ticket as a result of the accident, plead "nolo contendere", which literally means "i do not contest it"... this keeps the civil trial from using the ticket against you and thereby making you pay more to the accident 'victim'.
