Good day, I just got a ticket today from Leonia, NJ cop for “Disregard Stop Sign Regulation or Yield Sign” - 39:4-144. It says 2 points in the fee schedule, and the fine is $85. On March 2013, I had a traffic ticket that I plead guilty and just paid $85 fee with 2 points (I think) for Unsafe Lane Change – 39-4-88B. According to the officer, I made a last minute lane change in the double lines. I didn’t bother fighting it because I had 0 points back then and work with two kids, etc.
My question now is, should I bother fighting in the court for this new ticket? My co-workers told me that it might be useless and that I would probably pay $400+ just to have the points removed. My only worry is getting another ticket in the future/less than three years and having to pay the surcharge, etc. I live in another county (1.5 hours commute) so I’m afraid I might get another ticket resulting in more points or drivers license points/surcharge. Right now, I’m not too worried about insurance company surcharge because my insurance company said they don’t raise the rates for minor infractions like this. I would appreciate your thoughts and advice: Should I fight the current ticket or just pay the fee and take the points?
