Answering a Traffic Ticket
How do I answer my traffic ticket?
You may have received a hand-written ticket or a computer-generated ticket. It is the obligation of the receiving motorist to respond to the ticket. If the charges are NOT MISDEMEANORS you can either appear on the date listed on the bottom of the ticket or you may complete section A or B on the ticket to indicate your plea of either guilty or not guilty. You may submit your entire ticket to the court by mail, fax or email:
Town of Triangle Court
2612 Liberty Street

Whitney Point, NY 13862
If you fail to respond your license may be suspended.
Upon a plea of guilty, a fine and New York State mandated surcharge may be assessed and you will be notified by mail of the amount due and the instructions on how to make payment. Upon a plea of not guilty, you will be sent further information on how to proceed. If you have been charged with a misdemeanor, you must appear in person on the date and time listed on the ticket.

Answering a Suspension
If you are trying to answer a suspension while the court is closed, here are some things you can do to speed up the process once I return to the office.
If you NEVER entered a plea on the original ticket,
please email me ([email protected]) with your NAME and DATE OF BIRTH. I will respond with a copy of the ticket and a plea form you can use to enter a plea of GUILTY or NOT GUILTY. Once you return the form by mail, email, fax, or drop-off, then I can lift the suspension.
If you entered a NOT GUILTY plea but then missed your pretrial conference date, then you must do one of the following to lift your suspension(s):
- Apply for a Reduction: Download the Plea Reduction Form from the Broome County District Attorney’s website. Fill out Section #1 and email it to them with a copy of the ticket(s) and your DMV driving record. They will reply with an offer within 7-10 days. Include the Court in your email submitting your application.
- (If applicable) Apply to the Broome County District Attorney's Traffic Diversion Program: Information listed on their website. Forward me the confirmation email once you have applied.
- Retain an attorney.
- Change your plea to GUILTY (Email the Court w/ name and date of birth to request the form).
- Proceed to an in-person, non-jury Bench Trial (Email the Court w/ name and date of birth to request a trial date).
