Ramapo Teen Cited Twice in One Day for Unlicensed Driving After Court Appearance

Ramapo, N.Y. — An 18-year-old man was cited twice in one day by the Ramapo Police Department for operating a vehicle without a valid license, in an incident officers say underscores an ongoing pattern of repeat traffic violations.

According to police, the teen initially drove a taxicab to a Walmart parking lot before walking to the Town of Ramapo Justice Court to address a prior ticket for unlicensed operation. While he appeared to comply with the law by arriving “via taxi,” officers later determined that he had been the one driving the vehicle.

A short time after leaving court, the individual was stopped by officers and issued a second ticket for unlicensed operation.

Police say the incident reflects their continued efforts to enforce vehicle and traffic laws, particularly among drivers who operate without valid licenses.

Authorities have noted an increase in enforcement actions targeting unlicensed and suspended drivers, citing public safety concerns. Driving without a license can lead to escalating penalties, including fines, additional citations, and potential court consequences.

The case remains pending in the Town of Ramapo Justice Court.
