So this can depend on where you got the ticket. Most importantly, if you got the ticket in New York City you should be aware that the NYC Traffic Violations Bureau does not negotiate or plea bargain at all, and in order to get any type of reduction or dismissal there, you will have to take the case to trial.    If you are outside of New York City though, you can speak with your attorney and they will be able to negotiate with the prosecutor in an attempt to work out a plea deal that will result in a lesser violation than what you have been charged with. Oftentimes through mitigation information a plea deal can be worked out with significantly less points. With that being said, your best bet is to speak with your attorney regarding the specifics of your case and your situation, because that will give you a much better idea of what you will be looking at.
