Ithaca Lawyer: DANGERS of getting a New York Ticket with an Out-of-State License!

THE DANGERS
of getting a New York Traffic Ticket
when you are licensed in a 
different state!



In this video, Attorney Mike Cyr explains the TWO BIGGEST DANGERS of having a New York traffic ticket if you have a non-NY driver's license.  

There are two big issues:

1.  You will be facing administrative penalties to your license as well as fines, etc, in BOTH states.  

From a pure money standpoint, if you are dealing with a Speeding Ticket or a "serious traffic violation" under NYS Insurance law, then it is possible that your CAR INSURANCE PREMIUMS could be dramatically increased.  (For example, in NY it is 3 years of car insurance increases...)

2.  If you don't deal with your New York ticket, then the NY courts have the ability to SUSPEND your driving privileges in New York.  If that happens, then it is likely that your home state will do the same.  

If things get that bad, you could have to deal with the major inconvenience of having no license in two states UNTIL the underlying New York ticket is finally resolved.
