New York Traffic Violation Defense Lawyer

Many people fail to realize that when you put a check in the mail with your traffic ticket that you are pleading guilty as charged to the offense. That you are turning a mere allegation into legal fact with unforeseen consequences. Before making that mistake consider the fact that pleading guilty “as charged” may very well be the first step toward losing your driver's license.

Many people believe that a traffic violation is a minor issue. Many people respond by paying a speeding ticket or some other traffic ticket by mail by pleading guilty as charged. While that may be a simply way to forget about it, New York motorists need to be aware of the impact that a speeding ticket conviction can have on their ability to not only drive but also maintain the lowest auto insurance rates.

In addition, accruing 11 or more points in and 18 month period in New York subjects a motorist to a driver’s license or privilege suspension. If a motorist is convicted of 3 speeding charges received within 18 months, their New York license and / or privileges will be revoked for a minimum of 6 months. Proactively fighting all New York speeding tickets and moving improves your chances of not having to suffer an insurance increase, suspension, or revocation.
