Anyone from the Philadelphia area get a speeding ticket? I was going about 60 mph in a 35 zone and was cited for careless driving. The ticket amount was for $93 dollars and 3 points.. ouch.. However I have a NJ licence and registration. Anyone know what the best way to go about perhaps reducing the points is? In NJ I heard of being able to go to court and pleading guilty to the public defender and many times they will drop the points for you.. However, I don't know how this works in Philadelphia.. The lady I spoke to at court told me to mail in the form from the ticket and mark it "not guilty". Then she told me that at the trial I should tell the judge my situation of not being familiar with the area and hopefully he will reduce it or drop the points. <br>People within the Philadelphia please help with exactly what I can do! Thank you so much!<p>Chris K<br>98.5 1.8TQAS

oops.. thats what I meant sorry for the confusion

I heard from a friend of mine that what ever points you get in an incident outside NJ, that is considered as 2 points only. I would suggest you call up your DMV and ask them for exact information.<p>hope that helps,<p>Prat

Some states have a policy of not reporting your offense to the other states DMV if you pay the fine in time.<p>Penn, NY are like that. I have received tickets in Penn and they said if you pay in 30 days they wont report to NY DMV. And they didnt. No points for me back then.<br>

...they do report, at least to CA.<p>They suck.<p>- Stan<br>
