Apparently for NYC you can just search and see the amount of traffic violations, and this dickhead has a LOT
Damn.
$1200 for 19 violations. No wonder people don't care about the violations. Red light violation in my country is EUR 320 ($367)
In theory he should be paying a lot more to car insurance because of the points and sheer amount of violations. But maybe he's too wealthy to care about that either.
Edit: In many states in the US, they will suspend the license if they get too many points from violations like running red lights or speeding. Not sure how it works in New York state however.
Those are usually for moving violations, not things like parking fines.
Speeding and running red lights are moving violations. It's possible to get a suspended license from getting 2-3 speeding or red light tickets in a row in some states.
Yeah, but does that site differentiate between speeding and parking tickets? In my area you can rack up any amount of parking fines and the most it'll do is you might need to pay them off before you can renew.
But yeah, you get points for speeding past a certain amount over the limit, running lights, and other violations that concern the way you move (on public roads, parking lots are free for alls, though a DUI is a DUI even on private property).
11 speeding and red light incidents... less than $1200???? Thats absurd.
11 separate incidents being caught doing behaviour that has an increased chance of killing/maiming someone.... and less than $1200 in fines to deter that???
this person has proven that they REGULARLY break the law in a dangerous way... and they still allow him to get behind the wheel every morning... and one day when he kills someone, they'll call it an "accident"
There's nothing accidental about allowing this person to operate a 3 ton weapon every day
Holy shit I’ve only gotten 1 ticket in my entire life and it was BS. It’s…really not hard to not break traffic laws.
NOT AT ALL trying to support this asshole but I know from experience it’s much harder in NYC. I know conventional wisdom is that nobody owns a car there — but there are more privately owned cars than there are parking spaces, and the city strictly enforces alternate-street parking.
His moving violations are because he’s a bad/selfish driver but it’s harder in NYC than almost anywhere else to avoid parking tickets, unless you’re rich enough to pay for a lot/garage, which is about the price of rent in another city.
Always plan accordingly for the conditions. It’s never ok for your lack of planning to become everyone else’s problem.
I mean, I handled it. It just involved a lot of getting up early and driving around for long periods of time. I’m only really reacting to the assertion that is isn’t hard. In the city it is, in fact, not easy.
or break them just enough that you don't get a ticket.
I feel like at some point those should start getting points against your license or something.
We have exactly this in germany. If you collect enough points, ur drivers license gets revoked.
Absolutely! 19 in 4 years is crazy. I've gotten 2 in 23 years, running a yellow light and not realizing the speed limit changes at night in Texas. Both of those fines were way more than $50. New York is dumb.
Seriously, Ive gotten one ticket in 20 years. One.
Alright there might be a little bit of capitalism at play. Fines so low they encourage people to just pay them.
Too steep and people will either avoid the infraction or dodge paying altogether.
So this is literally a rich people get to be assholes fee.
Where is it, Finland, that has fines as a percentage of income?
I think it's a great policy
Yep! They gave one guy a €100,000 ticket for speeding, lol.
The fine should go up exponentially with the number of violations (as well as income). First ticket? You screwed up. Tenth? You clearly don't care. Hundredth? You're doing it on purpose.
This guy pays about $200 a year to drive like an asshole.
At that point it's just a subscription product.
Bro was at like 19 on just that license plate
Probably a cop
Would help a lot, if violations did not only cost money, but the driver's license eventually.
