Getting pulled over and issued a New York traffic ticket can ruin your day. And while this may be a fairly common occurrence in New York State, traffic tickets are not to be taken lightly. Many drivers do not realize that simply paying a traffic ticket fine in New York amounts to pleading guilty to the offense that they have been charged with. Moreover, pleading guilty may just bring them a step closer to jeopardizing their driving privileges.
Got a traffic ticket? What happens next...
Whether you receive a New York speeding ticket, a red light ticket, a ticket for tailgating, unsafe passing, failure to yield, or for a seatbelt violation, it can have a serious impact on your driving record and your ability to continue driving. Here are just some of the adverse effects of pleading guilty to a New York traffic ticket:
- Receiving a traffic ticket adds points to your driver’s license. If you accumulate 11 points or more within an 18 month period, your license will be suspended. See our Points page to learn more about the New York DMV traffic violation points system.
- Getting a New York traffic ticket may cause you to get stuck paying a substantial fine & surcharge to court.
- Three (3) speeding tickets and/or misdemeanors in a period of 18 months will result in a 6-month license revocation.
- If you get a NY traffic ticket, there is bound to be a significant increase in your auto insurance premiums.
- Receiving a traffic ticket can make you liable for the Driver Responsibility Assessment, which is an additional fine paid annually for 3 years to the NY DMV.
- Misdemeanor traffic tickets are issued for serious traffic offenses such as driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI), driving without a valid license or insurance and reckless driving. These can result in a permanent criminal record and can lead to heavy fines, the loss of your driving privileges and even imprisonment.
