Ithaca Steuben County Ticket lawyer: The TRUTH about NY Tickets and Car Insurance

The TRUTH About
New York Tickets
and Car Insurance




This video is about New York State tickets for moving violations, like speeding. Most tickets have points associated with them but do they matter? The DMV, Department of Motor Vehicle puts these points on your driving record but will they affect car insurance? If I am licensed out of state will my state get these points?

Points don't count as much as most people think. Points in New York can cause a license suspension (11 points in 18 months), can trigger three years of DMV surcharges but they will not affect car insurance.

Points are different state to state.
Points are not always transferred the same state to state.
There is no nationally recognized point system for tickets.

These are the Serious Traffic Offenses Nationally:

Reckless Driving
Speeding 15 mph or higher
Following Too Closely
Unsafe Land Change

The main point is that Car insurance is affected by the nature and character of the offense.
