ticket

There are many laws that are on the books in New York State that involve operating a motor vehicle. The law about hanging things from your rearview mirror seems odd but you could get a ticket if you violate it.

Where many states have exceptions to this law, New York State draws a hard line when it comes to trucks.

I think we all know by now that it is illegal to leave your car running and unattended in New York state. Section 1210 of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law makes it illegal for a driver to leave a vehicle without stopping the engine, locking the ignition, and removing the key from the car. But that doesn't stop a lot of people in the Capital Region from doing just that. Not only could you get a ticket, but it could also be worse.

How many times has this happened to you? You're driving along at night and someone is driving toward you in the oncoming lane with their brights on. Do you flash your headlights to let them know they are blinding you? Is that even legal? The answer might surprise you.
