Florida Drivers: Impact of New York Traffic Convictions

by Seth Azria on 5/11/2015

Points in Florida if Florida Gives Points for the NY Conviction

A Florida driver will receive points on their Florida record  from a ticket in New York, if Florida assesses points for that violation.

For example, a Florida driver received a ticket in New York for speeding 86 in a 65 zone. New York would assess 6 points for that conviction and Florida would assess 4 points. As a result the Florida driver would get 4 points on their Florida record.  For a speeding violation more than 15 miles over the limit, Florida will assess 3 points.

Florida Suspensions and Points

A Florida driver license will be suspended if a driver accumulates:

  • 12 points in 12 month period; 30 day Suspension
  • 18 points in 18 month period; 3 Month Suspension
  • 24 points in 36 month period; 1 Year Suspension

For more information and a list of points associated with Florida convictions please see: Official Florida DMV | Driver License Points and Point Suspensions. If you are Florida driver and want to a copy of your driving record you may purchase one here: http://www.flhsmv.gov/ddl/abstract.html

Great Attorney, excellent service provided!

Driving back from Canada I received a large speeding ticket in NY. I thought this time instead of the PA making a mockery of me and traveling back up to NY I'd enlist the help of an attorney. Azira & Bruffett were the first firm that populated and the only one I needed. His staff was great, very communicative and friendly, David, was very easy to work with. Very knowledgeable and explained everything perfectly to me. I hope i never need another attorney in NY again, but if I do, David Bruffett will be the first I contact.

Would Recommend to Anyone

Seth Azria was recommended to me by a friend. I can't say enough about how well I was treated, his responsiveness, and how my case was handled. My first call to him was on 12/22/14 and we met the same day. My first and last date in court was 1/15/15. The outcome was better than I ever expected it could be and would recommend him to anyone.

I had gotten an extremely high speeding ticket when I drove upstate for the first time. I'm 18 and have had my license for about a year, so my mother and I thought it would be a good idea to hire an attorney. It was a holiday weekend, so I was surprised when David Bruffett answered our call on Presidents' Day. I'm so thankful he did. He's did an amazing job getting my speeding ticket reduced. He instructed my on what to do to increase my chances to reduce as many points as possible. He was honest when telling us what our outcome would most likely be, however, the outcome exceeded our expectations. He and his staff were very professional and supportive. David had always made himself available to answer our calls.
