Here's what to do if you got a "move over" ticket in New Paltz
If you have to go appear in New Paltz traffic court because you have been accused of failing to exercise due care when passing a vehicle on the side of the road, attorney George Selby is the one to call, according to the reviews we get. At Selby Legal, we handle all kinds of New Paltz traffic tickets written by state police, as well as town and university police officers and sheriff’s deputies.
In New York, drivers on a highway must not pass vehicles that are pulled over onto the shoulder in the adjacent lane. Instead, they must change into the next lane over on a multi-lane road. This law covers any and all vehicles, including emergency and service vehicles.
Violating most sections of VTL 1144 can result in a fine of up to $243.00 for a guilty plea on the first offense, plus three points. If you choose to exercise your rights and plead not guilty, hiring Selby Legal means that you do not need to go to court yourself to get this resolved. Judges in New Paltz take safety seriously, and having an experienced attorney appear on your behalf can send the message that you are taking this seriously, too.
