There are numerous trucking tickets issued in Suffolk County every day. The majority of Suffolk County trucking tickets are issued on the Long Island Expressway. Many of these tickets involve overweight violations. Fines for trucking violations can be very expensive with the fines for overweight violations at times running into the thousands of dollars. State Troopers also issue a large volume of trucking tickets to truckers driving on the Southern State Parkway. While trucks are not permitted on the parkway except for specific permitted vehicles, out of state truckers relying on GPS will often find themselves on the Southern State Parkway, leading to numerous tickets. If you or one of your drivers has received a trucking violation in Suffolk County, it’s best to consult with a Suffolk County Traffic Lawyer.
Suffolk County trucking tickets most often end up at the Suffolk County First District Court in Central Islip or at the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency in Hauppauge. While in the past, the Suffolk County Traffic and Parking Violations Agency, also known as the SCTPVA, was a very difficult venue to resolve a case in, recent changes in the administration have made the court much better for attorneys handling cases there. Both the First District Court and the SCTPVA require attorneys to appear on behalf of corporations. Other Suffolk County Courts that handle their fair share of trucking tickets include the Southampton Town Court, Southampton Village Court, Islandia Justice Court, Riverhead Town Court and Northport Village Court.
