    Default Going Straight from a Turn-Only Lane, Ticket Not Yet in System

    My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: New York. I received a ticket in New York City for going straight in a right-turn only lane. Long story short, I was coming right out of a parking lot and it was near impossible to get over to the middle lane without causing massive gridlock. The cop was friendly and seemed reluctant to give me a ticket, but he did. It was a 1110A for about $130 and 2 points on my license.

    The thing is, I have been going to dmv.ny.gov/eplead.htm for 2 weeks now, trying to punch in my ticket number, and it keeps saying no such ticket is on file. According to what their website says, the ticket I received is answerable online. Tomorrow is the date I am supposed to respond by, so I'm screwed. What do I do? Why would my ticket not show up in their database? I know I am typing it correctly. Is it possible the cop threw it out after seeing how polite I was even after he handed it to me? Is it possible it flew out the window? I don't want to simply cross my fingers and hope that's the situation, but according to the NY DMV website, there is no record of this ticket at all. If someone could help me figure out why, and what I should do, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Are you certain you're eligible?

    Determine if you are eligible:
    To use this transaction, the front of your traffic ticket must display the words "Traffic Violations Bureau" at the bottom. If the traffic ticket does not display the words "Traffic Violations Bureau," you cannot use this transaction for the ticket. If you need help, see the sample tickets. The TVB does not handle parking violations, criminal driving violations (for example, DWI) or tickets answerable in a local court.

    Yep, the words "TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS BUREAU" are clearly written on the front.

    I suggest looking at your other options on the ticket and trying that. I am sure that you are not being forced to use that site as the only possible resource to respond. If the ticket is due today, you can more than likely go directly to the court and file your intent to contest the ticket. Most states require that the court information is listed right on the ticket.

    No, I am not being forced to use the site, but it's clearly listed as an option. I also am not going to court directly after work and missing night school because they couldn't be bothered actually entering the ticket on their site as the back of my ticket says they would.
    I'll just deal with the consiquences of not answering it, and when they question me, I'll show printouts of me trying every single day of the week to answer the ticket and their site saying it's not on file.

    I appreciate your advice but I follwed their rules under the "To Plead Guilty or Not Guilty Online" heading to a T.

    If you want your documentation of problems with the ticket to have any real significance, you will address the issue promptly. On the other hand, if you want to bite off your nose to spite your face, it's your face.
