Delaware Drivers: Impact of New York Traffic Convictions

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.
The effect of New York Traffic Tickets on Delaware Drivers

1. Information Sharing Between NY and Delaware

If you receive a traffic conviction in New York State, Delaware will be notified of the offense because both states are members of the Driver License Compact.

Will I Get Points on My Delaware License?

Yes. Once notified, Delaware may record the conviction and assess points against your Delaware license according to Delaware’s point system.

2. Hidden New York DMV Fines

The Driver Responsibility Assessment

Even if you don't live in New York, the rules still apply to your driving privileges there. If the New York ticket carries 6 or more points, in addition to the court fine, the New York DMV will impose an additional fine called a Driver Responsibility Assessment.

I am very pleased with Mr. Azria's service, and the outcome of my case. If you find yourself in need of a traffic lawyer, I highly recommend contacting him.

Very Professional and Trustworthy!

I contacted Azria Law Office after receiving a speed ticket (+24 mph). Pleading guilty would automatically assign me 6 points + fines to the court, and fines to DMV for 3 years. In addition, my insurance premium would increase. Azria Law Office handled my case in a very professional manner. The charges for the law office is also reasonable. Afterwards my case was converted to no point and a fine below $150. I am much relieved now!

Azria & Bruffett is an excellent law firm to deal with! Once you engage their services, they are excellent to take care of any traffic ticket. The settlements of the tickets are very favorable to the client. They are also VERY timely. out of the 4 tickets my son had over a period of a year, 2 of them were settled within 2 days of submitting them to Mr. Azria.
