Ticket for Passing inspection site...

It's a non moving violation, simply a reason to take your money and give you a few CSA points. I got one of those on my first load in AZ, ouch lol

 

The want you to appear. If you don't hey will suspend you licence. Make lots of money.
Also will fine you, make lots more money.

 

When he calls to get the fine amount tell him to make sure he is sitting down, but he should be able to just pay the fine before the court date and be done with it. If he doesn't pay before the court date he will be getting an all expense paid trip to suspension city.

 

New Jersey took trucking related items off the court lists.
Even if the cop forgets to check off 'court apperance required' it is usually a manditory court appearance. only courts I know who are different is Pennsville & Greenwich where the super coops are located.
Both of them will give you your overweight fine amount over the phone.

So what used to be a $42.00 mail it in ticket turns into $85 -$120 depending on the judge plus court costs around $30.00 on top.

Also truck related stuff usually does not have points; the McGrievy [he said I am a gay american] adminstration gave motorists a way to buy their way out of points by pleading guilty to 'Unsafe Driving' and paying around $450.00. You can use this twice.

You can't use this for any violation that does not include points. It does show up as unsafe driving on one's abstract and that could cause problems for someone employed by a company outside NJ.
