Ticket for weaving in NJ. Plea Bargain ???
Hi. I got a ticket for weaving a few weeks ago, in NJ on 287. I don't think I was actually weaving. I was doing 67 in a 55, and the cop pointed that out, but spared me that ticket. Also, he said I did not have the proper registration in my truck (company truck), and let me go on that also. So all I got was the ticket for weaving. statute 39:4-88B.
The ticket says to go online to a website and enter the ticket number to get the fine. But the website always says the ticket is not found, and to call the municipal courthouse. Called the courthouse, and the clerk who answered said it is an $85 fine and 2 points. Also said I can plead not guilty, and pay $200 instead of $85, and get it reduced to something with no points, like seatbelt, or obstrucing traffic, by talking to the prosecuting attorney before the hearing.
I plan on paying the $200 and avoiding the points. I didn't ask her about the DAC report.
Anyone actually go through this process? Is it that simple? Show up at hearing, pay extra money, walk away with no points? What about the DAC? Does the DAC get anything on it?
Thanks
