Fight those tickets, take them to trial. It depends on you whether you want to hire a lawyer If you aren’t comfortable defending yourself. This happened to me also. The prosecutor couldn’t prove that I physically was driving the vehicle. No pics from the officer’s dash cam and no cameras in the surrounding area. Make them prove you were driving the vehicle. Took a year to get the court to dismiss the tickets. Probably because I was defending myself though. They give defendants with lawyers priority in traffic court. This was strictly my experience though.

I’m not a lawyer, but I would recommend you talk to one! Defending yourself in court is usually not a great idea. Ask around for recommendations and call one as soon as you can, so they have time to work on your case.

Honestly I can’t give a reason why I didn’t get a lawyer. Anger that I got moving violations in the mail probably. Even though it worked out for me at the time I will definitely hire a lawyer next time.

I think I might just hire a lawyer, if that’s the case. Either way I’m trying to figure out what the hell happened…

Probably your best bet. I wouldn’t wish what I went through with the NJ courts on anyway.
