Failure to Exercise Due Care to Avoid Colliding with an Emergency Vehicle Dismissed in Tuxedo Town Court, Orange County, New York

The Law Office of Siara Ossa PLLC secured the dismissal of a traffic ticket in Tuxedo Town Court in Orange County. Our client was charged with failing to exercise due care to avoid colliding with an emergency vehicle in violation of VTL 1144-A A.

Our office entered a plea of not guilty and promptly requested a supporting deposition—a document providing additional factual details about the alleged violation. The court acknowledged our request and ordered that a supporting deposition be provided.

Despite that request, the officer did not serve the supporting deposition within the required time. Our office tracked the deadline and filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that the failure to provide the document rendered the ticket legally insufficient.

The motion was granted, and the ticket was dismissed. Our client avoided a conviction and points from this charge.

This result highlights the importance of reviewing the procedures followed in a traffic case. By identifying the missing supporting deposition and pursuing dismissal, our office brought the case to a successful conclusion.
