NY grandmother gets ‘Star Trek’ license plate, hundreds of tickets in DMV failure

Resistance may be futile when dealing with the New York Department of Motor Vehicles.

According to reports, a nearly blind Long Island retiree who hadn’t driven in four years was crushed by a pile of tickets from all over the country — including the Big Apple — all thanks to her Star Trek-themed vanity plate. Was caused by. ,

Huntington resident Beda Coore, 76, gave up her old license plate, NCC 1701 — the name of the famous starship in the popular sci-fi series — in early 2020 because her eyesight was failing.

But the vanity plate, which was picked up by her ex-husband, has caused endless excitement with motorists buying the same fake novelty plates for their cars, causing them to rack up driving violations. News 12 has given the news.

Those tickets are then accidentally sent to Koore, leaving her desperate for a solution.

“The postman comes. I say, ‘Here comes another ticket,'” she told the station earlier this month.

“And I’m getting calls from all over the country.”

She has received tickets as far as Montreal, Canada, even though she has never been to that country.

The grandmother was also fined $16,500 in New York City for a driving violation she did not commit.

“I can’t even sleep. “I only see tickets on cars that have my plates on them,” Coore told News 12. “It’s making me sick every day.”

“I’m blaming the Department of Motor Vehicles because when these guys are inputting those plates, it’s coming back to me,” she said.

Fake Star Trek vanity plates can be easily purchased on e-commerce businesses like Amazon and can replace the real plates.

But this nightmare may soon end after a lawyer volunteers to help the elderly woman.

kenneth mollins told cbs 2 That Kouri was still linked to the Star Trek plates, even though the state Department of Motor Vehicles claimed his name and address had been removed.

After reaching out to top officials at the state agency, Molins told Coore on Thursday that the issue must now be fixed.

The city’s Finance Department, which collects parking fines and red camera tickets, vowed to work with Coore to toss 194 Big Apple tickets against the Long Islander.

Meanwhile Molins is working to get rid of hundreds of tickets issued in 23 other states for Coore.

“Now I’m going to dig a hole in the yard and bury these documents, these hundreds of tickets,” Coore told CBS 2.
