So it was about 3am, tired and anxious to go home with about a 30min drive. Keep in mind, this is LATE at night, some ahole decides to tailgate me. After glancing from my rear view to back up front, light turns yellow. I couldnt risk slamming my brakes and having this guy rear end me so i went through the yellow and low and behold, flashes everywhere. Never had a ticket before so any NY heads know whats the deal on this? Do they take off points, will insurance go up, how much is the fine, how soon do they mail the ticket? My plates are from out of state without a front plate (PA), this was at woodhaven blvd right before the belt pkway ramp, so do they have cameras angled at my rear or only front of the car? i dont mind paying the fine, but im just really curious if they will deduct points causing my insurance to go up? any help is appreciated! thanks in advance.
