I'm 16 and I have a New Jersey drivers permit, so for now I'm only allowed to drive with a licensed driver over 21 in the passenger seat. I was driving with my older brother in his car, when a police officer pulled me over because the brake lights didn't work. We both gave the cop our licences and when he came back he informed my brother that his licence was suspended. My brother told him that he recently moved and didn't know it was suspended. The officer told us neither one of us could drive and he gave me a ticket for the brakes not working and since my brother didn't have a valid licence he gave me another ticket for violating the driving restrictions. How am I supposed to know my brothers licence is suspended if he claims he didn't know. Why should I should be punished for that. After the judge hears my side, do you think he will let the ticket go for violating the driving restrictions?
