Arizona Drivers: Impact of New York Traffic Convictions

by Seth Azria on 3/20/2020
Effect of NY traffic ticket convictions on Arizona Drivers

Arizona DOT Includes NYS Traffic Convictions

Arizona and New York have both signed the Driver License Compact so the states share information about traffic convictions. 

If an Arizona driver is convicted of a traffic violation in a New York court, Arizona DOT will add the conviction to that driver’s record. 

Arizonans Should Take Care of Tickets issued in NY

Three reasons Arizona drivers should not plead guilty to a New York Traffic ticket: 

  1. Arizona will add the conviction, and any points, to their record back home. 
  2. All drivers on New York roads are subject to New York’s driver responsibility law. The law 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. 
  3. The states share information and Arizona will add convictions to the drivers record, therefore, it is likely an Arizona insurance carrier will learn of the conviction and possibly respond negatively.

excellent results

Atty Azria explained my real situation and my real choices to me with regard to a moving violation charge in central new york. He then worked to reduce the charges to a no-point non-moving violation. I am extremely happy with these results and would very strongly recommend his firm to everyone.

They were able to reduce 11 points down to nothing and I didn’t have to pay as much as I thought. I would definitely recommend them, as well as utilize their services again.
