Arizona Motorist with Traffic Ticket in New York
Points in Arizona
Arizona and New York are members of the Driver’s License Compact agreement. This means New York will report to Arizona any conviction in New York. Arizona law provides that for traffic convictions in another state that is part of the Compact, “the home state [Arizona] shall give such effect to the conduct as is provided by the laws of the home state.” In other words, Arizona will treat the out of state conviction as if it occurred in Arizona.
Points in New York
The New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) creates a phantom driver’s license for any motorist that receives a traffic ticket in New York. All New York tickets are associated with the phantom driver license number. If an out-of-state motorist gets 6 points in New York they are charged a driver assessment fee. If the motorist reaches 11 points their NY driving privileges get suspended.
Car Insurance
In general, car insurance premiums are re-issued every six months. Before your insurance company re-issues its premiums, they check your driving record. If there are any violations on your record, the insurance company will raise the premiums, depending on the severity of the traffic violation. Motorists can end up paying more insurance for several years, which means the traffic ticket is costing thousands, not just the fine to the court.
Fighting a Traffic Ticket in New York
New York State law generally allows attorneys to go to court in the place of their client. The defendant would have to sign an authorization allowing their attorney to handle the case for them. This is advantageous because motorists can get their charges reduced or dismissed without having to appear in court, nor does the motorists have to present the court with a defense or an excuse to the charges. The attorney can handle all. For more detailed information you can contact the Benjamin Goldman Law Office.
