383-1traffic violation?

Question

my van does not have a commercial plate and does not have back seats ( i took them out so that i can put plumbing material and tools) yesterday, i drove it to work with 4 men sitting in the cargo area without seats. cops pulled me off and i received a ticket and the 4 men also received a ticket respectively. My ticket says 383-1 violation (inadequate seat/ no seatbelt available). Does this violation adds points to my license?

Answer 1

It might you need to call your local DMV and ask them.

Answer 2

No, this is an equipment violation. Points are only added for moving violations. Just to be on the safe side though I would put the seats and seat belts back in it-if you still have them-then, I would put a rack on the roof for carrying the pipe. There's probably enough room behind the seats to keep your tools unless they're in one of those large by huge job boxes. Many times you can find racks on Craig's list.

Answer 3

Big time - you are really screwed!
