Alabama Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

by Seth Azria on 5/07/2020

Syracuse, NY Traffic Lawyer effect of traffic tickets on Alabama drivers


Alabama  Adds New York convictions to Alabama Records 

If the Alabama DMV receives a New York conviction it will: 1) add it to their licensee’s record, and 2) keep the record for 3 years from the conviction date. 

Alabama and New York are both members of the driver license compact and so the states share information about traffic convictions.  So it seems likely, Alabamans convicted in NeW York will have consequences at home. 

It is also important to consider:  

  1. All drivers, regardless of the state that issued their license, who are ticketed in New York are subject to New York’s driver responsibility law that requires payment from any driver who accrues 6 or more points in any 18 month period. One speeding ticket 21mph over the limit is 6 points. And, 
  2. It is likely a Missouri insurance carrier will learn of the conviction and might raise premiums or drop coverage.

My daughter who is a graduate student, was involved in a vehicle accident which left her very shaken. To top it off, she was also issued a ticket. Mr. Azria handled my daughter’s case in a very professional manner and kept both of us informed every step of the way. My daughter’s ticket was reduced to no points, without her ever having to physically go to court. Mr. Azria’s compassion and expertise made all the difference during a very stressful time for my daughter. Thank you, Mr. Azria!

I had an excellent experience working with Mr. Azria for my Saratoga Springs traffic ticket. He was professional, responsive, and made the entire process straightforward and stress-free. He successfully helped reduce my ticket to a no-point violation, which was a great outcome. Communication was clear throughout, and I always felt informed about the status of my case. I highly recommend Seth Azria to anyone looking for an experienced and effective traffic attorney.
