1. 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 specific violation.
How Points Transfer: An Example
If a Florida driver receives a ticket in New York for speeding 86 mph in a 65 mph zone, New York would assess 6 points for that conviction. However, Florida assesses 4 points for a speeding violation of 16 miles or more over the limit. As a result, the Florida driver would get 4 points on their Florida record. (For a speeding violation 15 miles or less over the limit, Florida assesses 3 points).
2. Florida Suspensions and Points
A Florida driver license will be suspended if a driver accumulates:
- 12 points in a 12-month period: 30-day Suspension
- 18 points in an 18-month period: 3-Month Suspension
- 24 points in a 36-month period: 1-Year Suspension
