In NJ and NY...speeding and arrest question

In new york i think its 110 for automatic arrest. that or it's like 40 over the limit or something

 

About the automatic arrest in NY, I received a year ago a 92 in a 50 on 440 north, which is the mecca of speed traps. No arrest, no talk of arrest just 11 points according to the dmv guidlines, unless you are fortunate enough to have "friends." Then it becomes a reminder to take it slow on that road...... favors like that only come once....

 

Very rarely do these sort of stops become arrests. All a matter of how you handle them and the officer that stops you.

I know of a number of folks who have recently been stopped for going north of the century mark.

No arrest, but definitely headaches come from such an unfortunate event including court dates, high fines, and license suspension.

 

I don't drive more than 10mph over the posted limit, this way I have enough time to bring it down to avoid the PoPo......

 

The dept policy for the NYPD Hwy Ptl is if you are caught at double the limit on the hwy (remember the posted limit in NYC on all parkways and hwys is 50 mph) that is grounds for automatic arrest. I have just retired after 20 years my last 11 in hwy ptl, so be careful in nyc.

 

Gorgeous white 348 you have!! Enjoy (when weather permits).

 

Thank you John, lets hope for a mild winter so we can get out and drive.

 

Congrats on making your "20"!!!! 18 months left for myself. Were those last 11 in HWY 2 or 4??

 

Depends on how you handle the situation
I won't mention the speed but
- honesty
-piety
Go a long long way in avoiding even a ticket- even at speeds north of 140mph

Be safe though and just drive well within the speed limit. Safest for all

 

Thanks fastn worked in hwy 2 for a little than in hwy 5, still staten island hwy to us oldtimers lol, 18 months to go dont even think about staying run away as fast as you can and enjoy not having to work and enjoy your family and life. 20 years of working all the holidays ,kids birthdays ect has finally paid off 42 and retired thats why I live NYC.!!!

 

hmmmm....sounds like a good deal. It seems I am a hospital slave for life...and I only started.

I'll be riding right behind you! lol

 

Thats a nice Fcar and congrats on your retirement from HiWay 5 (i remember when it was SI Highway also). I do know some of the bosses there, but have not been stopped in SI since 1995 or so. I sent you a pm on that one. Hopefully you will join us on some of the events when the weather is better.

 

In NJ, you will not get arrested for a moving violation, unless the cop suspects that you are under the influence (alcohol or drugs) or you do something else like try to outrun him to get away (evading). Not having proper identification on you can also do it if you were going really fast or driving recklessly, or driving on the revoked list. But just a straight moving violation won't land you in the clink.

 

Is a PBA or FOP Card at all beneficial if you're clocked at 100+?

 

anything & everything helps, including lots of begging & pleading hehe....... I find having a light sence of humor works, but what actually helps, if you know youre going to get pulled over, PULL OVER A.S.A.P. and don't pretend like nothing happen when you blow by a cop @ 100 and now he's flying out to catch you....... come to think about it, I was once lasered by a trooper, he turns on his light before I drive by him, I just hit the brakes and pulled over like maybe 30ft passed his spot...hehe, he was so confused and off guard, he just let me go

 

No reason to stay past 20. Have had a fantastic run so far. I enjoy what I do. But then its time to leave and move on to the next project! I will also be 42 when I leave!

 

I got caught going 110 in my RX-8 last year on the New York State Thruway (I-90 between Rochester and Buffalo). Amazingly, no points transferred over to my NJ driver's license, however, I did pay more than 2k in fines to Albany.

Keep it reserved for the track, we all make stupid mistakes though.

 

in NJ it's definitely not true, and you don't wanna know how I know. I'm sure it's at the cop's discretion but just cause you're going over 100mph does not mean he will arrest you.
