a good friend of mine just got a speeding ticket in clark, nj. and i wanted to know if it's possible to pay extra to get the points taken off your record. mainly because she has 4 points already and if she gets five total she's nocked off the insurance.
she wants to bump the ticket down to careless driving, but i heard somewhere that you can pay some amount per point to get them removed from your current record. am i right?

Driving school would remove some points. Otherwise, I would say you're out of luck. Since you have previous points, the judge or issuing officer are less likely to be lenient on this.

No, to pay and not get points would be to bribe an officer, definitely not allowed. With a prior 4 points it's unlikely she will be allowed to take the class and not have the points go on her record, but nonetheless she needs to ask at court about that possibility. Even if they allow that, what they will do is find her guilty of the ticket, but put her on probation for a time, and if no more tickets are received in that time they would go back and find her not guilty and remove the ticket. Of course if she got another ticket in the time frame she would have those points turned in at that time.
As I said, it's not likely, but worth asking about at court. Of course the best thing would be to have learned the first time and not gotten any subsequent tickets. It's call the doctrine of choice consequence. You make choices, and consequences follow, sometimes good, other times bad.

Different states very, but I've seen two things done that could help your friend out with her lil incident. First one is to find a lawyer in the area it'll probably cost her an extra 100 bucks, and the ticket will stay "suspended" for 90 days pending she doesn't get another ticket in that time frame. Alot of states actually let lawyers send out ads to the person who got the ticket...how I don't know. Second one is to go in and talk to the prosecutor at the courthouse, see if theres a way to get it suspended, same thing as the lawyer would do, but you cut out the middle man. Only downside to doing this is she/he may not want to talk to you, and thus there goes your chance. Good luck either way, and hope it helps your friend keep their liscence

Usually you can go to court and take the drivers training course, and pay the court costs and the cost of the training. When you do this, then they do not take the points off of your license and they don't notify the insurance company. You are only allowed to take the course once a year. When you complete it, they will give you a card to show a policeman if you get stopped again during the year.
good luck.
PS. I have never heard of paying money for points.

Your perfect guess is to touch the courts and ask them those questions. they're people who will technique your value tag and could understand all the regulations and regulation. you need to additionally ask the courts in case you're allowed to take a applying college type. this might ward off your coverage from going up and factors from being placed on your license. purely determine you get the courts permission until now doing so. in case you don’t the courts will reject your applying college certificates. stable success!

That is not so, she can try to fight it in court to either get it dismissed or the fine reduced
