best bet is to write the DA, explain you are moving, ask for a reduction (by MAIL) ---

I didn’t move back - 3 years and counting… I would just fight it. ---

> [@SkunkApe](#): > > that’s what we ALLLL said 😉 I think i’ve been out of Buffalo the longest out of anyone i’ve known that moved ha(then again I make way too damn much money to walk away, even though i’ve tried to convince myself a few times I should). Good luck with the ticket, all I can add is that I waited just over 2 months after I moved to switch my license from NYS to Florida and two tickets caught up with me. ---

^^ did you just make that up? that’s not true at all. the issue I would care about is will your insurance company find out… chances are yes, so it’s worth fighting. the points are less important in this case. ---

Figured I’d update this today. Spoke to the court clerk she said they do this all the time with out of towners and to just mail it in and plead not guilty and they will then reduce it to whatever and mail it back to me to pay whatever fine it gets reduced to. So it’s been mailed back in. I know for a fact that NY-VA points don’t transfer so I’m not worried. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > ^^ > the issue I would care about is will your insurance company find out… chances are yes, so it’s worth fighting. the points are less important in this case. Insurance company won’t find out because the policy is in my mothers name, and I’m not listed as a driver. Of course that’d not an excuse to accept points, as some day I will need to put insurance in my own name. Maybe somebody can chime in but do insurance companies see the same thing regardless of state? The only reason my insurance is still not in my name is simply because nobody will insure me because of my adolescent driven record. ---

Update. Court finally sent me the paperwork. Reduced to 1110a (as suspected) $155 fine, and all done. :tup: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nys-gave-me-a-departing-gift/50249.md?page=1)
