Speeding. Running a red light. Cell phone tickets. These are all traffic offenses in New York, and they could leave you with huge fines, increased insurance rates and even the suspension of your driver’s license. 

Consequences of Traffic Tickets in NYC

Every traffic violation has its own specific penalties. Some things, such as blocking the box, result in a fine; other offenses, such as speeding and violations that could jeopardize cyclist or pedestrian safety, can put points on your license. When you rack up points on your license, you could be looking at:

• Increased insurance costs
• Driver retesting
• The suspension of or revocation of your driver’s license

If your license is suspended or revoked, how will you get to work? How will you take your kids to school? How will you do anything?

Consequences of Ignoring Traffic Tickets or Paying Fines

You can’t ignore a traffic ticket. That’s the quickest way to get your driver’s license suspended. However, when you pay the fine, the state considers that an admission of guilt. You’re caught between a rock and a hard place. You don’t want to admit guilt, because you’re almost sure to face increased car insurance costs and, in many cases, points on your license; at the same time, you can’t ignore it because the state could issue a warrant for you or revoke your driver’s license.

Most Common Traffic Violations in NY

Some traffic violations are criminal, such as drunk driving or leaving the scene of an accident. Other violations aren’t considered criminal, but they’re still violations of the law. Some of the most common violations in New York City include:

• Speeding
• Cell Phone (VTL 1225 (c))
• Portable Electronic Device (VTL 1225 (d))
• Red Light
• Stop Sign
• Reckless Driving
• Failure To Yield To Pedestrians

If you’re found guilty of a criminal offense in conjunction with a traffic ticket, you’ll have much more than fines, fees and points to worry about – the state aggressively prosecutes criminal driving offenses. You could end up spending time behind bars or on probation with a criminal conviction, and that can affect your entire future.
