Arizona Drivers: Impact of New York Traffic Convictions

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.

I highly recommend this law firm. They took care of a speeding ticket I received in Liverpool quickly and easily without needing much at all from me which is huge being a full time working mom. They saved me money in insurance increases, points on my license, and my peace of mind. They were quick to respond back with any questions I had and handled my case professionally as well as promptly! I will definitely use them again for any future issues.
