Understanding New York Traffic Laws
Failure to contest a traffic ticket will result in a guilty verdict on your driving record. In New York, specific amounts of points are assessed to your driving record for each traffic ticket you receive and do not contest. The Department of Motor Vehicles will automatically suspend or revoke your drivers' license once too many points have accumulated on your record in a period of time.
We are experienced at helping clients protect their driving privileges in DMV hearings. Our New York City law firm is skilled in handling various suspension and revocation matters. Examples of cases include:
- Driving under suspension or revocation: Excessive accumulation of unpaid traffic tickets will result in a suspension or revocation of your drivers' license. Many of our clients did not receive notice of the suspension as a result of a change of address or other reason. In a traffic stop for speeding, they are informed of the suspension and possibly arrested.
- Driving an unregistered vehicle: Failure to pay insurance premiums will result in lapsed insurance coverage. If a vehicle does not have insurance, the DMV will automatically revoke the vehicle registration. Many clients are pulled over when driving a child's or spouse's car without the realization that the registration has lapsed. Now, they face serious consequences through no fault of their own.
We work to prove our clients did not know or have reason to know of the offense -- thus avoiding the serious consequences. We advise clients of their option to take drivers' safety programs to reduce the number of points existing on their current driving record. In addition, we evaluate eligibility for a conditional restricted license which permits drivers with a suspended or revoked license to drive to work, medical appointments, and other limited locations.
As experienced license suspension defense attorneys, we are skilled in helping clients avoid and minimize the negative consequences of a suspended or revoked drivers' license as well as the penalties for driving with a suspended driver's license.
