Never Plead Guilty to a Traffic Ticket!
\If you pay a traffic violation without fighting it, that is the same as pleading guilty. Pleading guilty to a traffic ticket can add points to your driving record resulting in increased insurance premiums, DMV fees and a potential driver's license suspension.
Points & License Suspensions (see our points list below)
- Points remain on your driving record for 24 months from the date of the violation
- A moving violation remains on your driving record for 3 or more years from the date of your conviction
- If you accumulate 6 or more points in 18 months, the DMV issues a Driver Responsibility assessment. The assessment is $300 for the first 6 points and $75 per point over 6
- If you accumulate 11 or more points within 24 months, the DMV will suspend your license
- If you are convicted of one 11-point speeding violation, the DMV will suspend your license
- Three or more speeding ticket convictions with dates of violation within 24 months will lead to a license revocation
Driver Responsibility Assessments
The DMV assesses a penalty over and above any fines that you pay to the court if you accumulate excessive points during any 18-month period. The Driver Responsibility Assessment starts at $300 for the accumulation of six points, plus an additional $75 for every point over six. Visit the NY Department of Motor Vehicles website for more information about the Driver Responsibility Assessment.
Driver Improvement Clinic
You may be required to attend a driver improvement clinic if you accumulate between 7 and 10 points within a 24-month period. Failure to attend the clinic will result in the suspension of your license.
Formal Hearing
Habitual or persistent violations during a 24-month period may result in a formal hearing at which your license may be suspended or revoked if:
- You accumulate 11 points resulting from multiple violations; or
- You accumulate 9 or more points resulting from speeding violations; or
- You accumulate 4 or more additional points within one year of having attended a formal hearing
Insurance Increases
Traffic convictions make you a higher risk to insurance companies. This results in a higher insurance rate. Although points are only counted against you for 24 months from the date of the violation, the moving violation remains on your record for 3 or more years from the date of conviction for your insurance company to see.
