My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NY
Hello,
I got a ticket couple of days ago around Belt Parkway area, NY. As per the ticket, I was doing 70 on 50, but I do not remember and did not check what my speed was at that time.
I looked at the Radar enforced speed limit sign only after being stopped by the cop.
I read about contesting the ticket, having the court date rescheduled etc etc. but am not willing to go that route as it's a time consuming process and not guaranteed to be fruitful.
The officer suggested me to go to traffic school which would clear everything off of my record, when asked if I could get away with a warning.
However, I did take the defensive driver course about 13-14 months ago (Nov, 2013), just to get a discount (my record was clean until 2 days ago, no prior speeding tickets etc.) through Geico. I did get 10% discount through Geico for taking that course an year ago.
Will the certificate/course that I took 13-14 months ago count towards the ticket I got day before yesterday?
If not, are there any ways to make that certificate count towards the ticket I got 2 days back?
My motive is to keep the record clean.
Please advise. Appreciate your help. Thanks.
