And I also wonder. Even if I plead the violation to no points, what's to prevent the insurance company from holding it against me like they did the seat belt violation?

It sounds like the insurance industry is emulating the credit card model, raise you for any reason, or none at all. Have you looked for a new insurer? I'll bet that one ticket on an otherwise clean record still makes you a catch for any agent, they spend tons on getting new customers.

He's allowed to turn there, stupid. The light is green.

WTF I know it's green, I put the image up to illustrate the sign. It exist, you prick. The OP is NOT allowed to turn there on red. The cop has every right to give a ticket if you can't read the sign. Whether it is on the corner or not, it is visible and in the line of sight of any driver approaching the light.

What you say makes sense in terms of actual law, but this is Joisey, where the law is whatever the the officious pricks say it is. I protested and asked for a dismissal, I was offered the plea deal or a new court date. When I missed the second court date they issued a bench warrant for me. For all I know, after 12 years I'm still a wanted man in Lyndhurst.

Is this the intersection? If so, there is a sign. I don't blame you for making the right. But you should always be looking out for cops in JC, at least I am. Welcome.

Go fight the ticket. Plead Not Guilty, and don't trade down to a lesser offense. There is about a 90% chance that the officer doesn't show up, and the ticket will be dismissed for lack of prosecution.

I discovered this is a myth, at least in Lyndhurst. The officer was noshow, but they didn't dismiss, only offered me a no points fine instead on a ticket that was complete bullshit to begin with.

Okay...so i just opened my cell phone bill for the month of June and guess what...

I owe $500 for overage charges!!!

Can you believe this!?!?

I know this may seem random, but I figured since this lunatic is trying to blame Jersey City for their PSE&G bill, i might as well try and blame JC for my cell phone bill.

This in an outrage, i hate Jersey City!

Does anyone know any other towns/web-sites i can blame besides myself?

There is a 50/50 chance that the cop will not show up when subpoenaed (unless he trolls this site). You are innocent until proven guilty. If there is no witness to testify and prove you guilty, the city has no case.

But if the cop doesn't show up, don't they usually postpone the case and keep bringing you back until he does show up? The cop is not going to drive up here from the shore on his own time. They only go to court when on duty on their shift, on city time.

If you want to get technical half of this story should be under the NOT JERSEY CITY section of the forum.

Why do you assume he has a new Harley? He doesn't, it's an older vintage bike. I can assure you my husband knows how to operate his bike. He's had Harley's for over 20 years.

And honestly, to all those who think bikers rev the engine so everyone will look at them and think they are cool or have big penises. Are you serious? Comeon.

I have Dish Network though the building I live in. We have tons of high def channels, but not MSG. I may switch to Comcast. What's the point of having a big-ass LCD and watching hockey in standard definition?

Thanks for the info.

I noticed this as well with the trees and if you need help watering, I'm all over it.

On a side note, as I type this, I'm watching sidewalk corners on Brunswick being broken up and leveled out nicely, looking very good.

Let's keep this up!

The Expecting Mothers signs are simply a suggestion. You don't have to comply, kind of like not holding open a door for someone. You simply risk looking like a douche. As for drivers? Don't get me started. As if elderly drivers were our biggest problem? Please.

We need a second tunnel for pedestrians, bikes, mopeds, disabled motorized carts and motorbikes no greater then 125cc. It could also incorporate some sort of electric light-weight open roof train. (3 seats wide with 10 rows in length or something like that)

Tell your mom that, 1st St GUY. Also tell grandma to lose the handicapped sticker, people shouldn't drive after 75.

This is like last night when I was walking home at 9pm. There were 3 cop cars parked out front of Carmine's Pizzeria on Brunswick...I guess they were having a pizza party.

The 2nd Street Light Rail is a 10 minute walk, although I have been warned about Mountain Road. 9th Street is 15 min. I don't mind the walk during the day, but the streets are SO empty at night (OK, I lived in Manhattan before and this takes getting used to).
