Take the Ticket, Fight It Later

Heads-up: this one's really for the folks who ride in New York, but if you're a fan of the show, I'm sure you'll enjoy it anyway. I am not out of order; this traffic court is out of order! :-) Kim Juszczyk of Traffic Court Pro, an NYC traffic attorney out of Greenpoint, breaks down how traffic court actually works in the five boroughs. No jury, no plea bargaining, no "the cop never shows" miracle. Just a DMV judge, a cop who came with a script, and a win-or-lose bench trial. Kim covers why speeding tickets are brutal to beat here (hello, LiDAR), why arguing roadside only makes it worse, and how her flat-fee, mostly-virtual practice keeps a real lawyer within reach for working riders. Bottom line for anyone on two wheels in this city: every rule that applies to a car applies to your bike, and Highway is waiting for you to forget it
