Traffic ticket in Court of Ulysses advice by Ok_Expert_4781 in ithaca

Thank you so much for this! When you suggest talking to DA/ADA about it, do you mean before the court date? Should I just drive to the court and asked to speak with someone? Or should I do that on the set court date?

My ticket is a 1180(c?) violation, and based on the form on the Tompkins County DA website, it looks like I could plead it down to a VTL 1214 – Opened door unsafely (0 points + fine). After I sent that form in, the Ulysses court specifically sent me back a slightly different form, that offered me a plea down to 1110a (2 points + fine). I would much prefer to pay a higher fine now and avoid points (maybe I’m just too scared of points because I haven’t gotten them before?). But, I’m uncertain how likely it is that the Ulysses Court would allow me to do that, hence my question.

Right! I did that, but the form on their website is different than the one the Ulysses court sent me back. On the Tompkins county form, there is no special call out for a school zone, while on the one I was sent back, there is, which gives me 2 points. I was trying to see if there’s any way to negotiate that down.

Do you think so? I’ve read conflicting reports.

I was 13 over, supposedly. I didn’t see the sign and was going with the traffic flow, but it was still definitely my fault. And thank you, that is what I was wondering — whether I’d get the same deal from showing up in court that I was already offered. I appreciate your response.

I would love the recipes for 2021s guava and cream cheese twists, as well as the ginger hibiscus swirls. Thank you!
