    Default Possession of Another Person's Driver's License

    My question involves a driver's license issued by the State of: New Jersey (Ticket issued in New York)

    I was pulled over on my college campus in New York for not having my headlights on (they work, I just forgot to turn them on the second I pulled out of the parking lot). When the cop asked for my license, he noticed that I had another license in my purse. This license belonged to a friend of mine who lent it to me to use (I am under 21 and she is 21). I hadn't actually used that license that night but it was in the purse and obviously seemed visible to the cop. When he asked why I had it, I told him I was holding onto it for a friend (plain and simple...didn't say what she had given it to me for). Needless to say, I was given two tickets...one for the headlights and one for possession of another's license. The headlights ticket was cited as "V & T Law 0375 2A1" and the possession of another's license was cited as "V & T Law 0509 06P". When I appeared in court, I pled not guilty. I received my notice for the next appearance, and I plan on resolving this by a mail waiver, because I am a full time student and cannot appear in court on that date.
    I was wondering if someone could tell me what types of fines I should be expecting from the court. I am a New Jersey resident but go to school in New York.

    Thank you.

    If you believe you have a defense to the ticket(s) and cannot make it to the scheduled court date, consider asking for an adjournment.

    If you want to know what your fines will be if you plead guilty, I suggest inquiring with the court.
