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

Mr. Azria has been incredibly helpful towards my case! especially enduring the circumstances of corona virus conditions and policies, he has helped me dismiss my case once and for all! Any questions i had were answered within hours and i was always kept up to date. a great thanks to him and his firm from my father and I!

What A Find!

I received a four point ticket and googled attorney's to choose who could handle my case, being that I was not local to the county in which I received the Summons. I found Seth Azria's Law firm and read the testimonials. I liked what I read and reached out to him. After retaining his services, I found the testimonials to be spot on. My ticket was reduced to a non point, non moving violation. Later on my son received the same type ticket with the same outcome. Very pleased with the services that he provided.

Excellent working with Seth...Seth assisted us with navigating the court system in NY state. The speeding ticket had no information and the city's documentation was too complicated and obscure for us to comprehend. Our case was concluded very much to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Seth to anyone who receives a speeding ticket in NY.

I was entirely satisfied with the representation I received from Azria and Bruffett. In May 2018, I received two tickets for failing to stop adequately at a stop sign (the officer said it was a "rolling stop") and failure to signal more than 100 ft. before a turn. I had never had a moving violation in 20+ years of driving, and I was now suddenly facing 5 points and the possibility of a hefty fine! Azria and Bruffett were able to get the charges reduced to a non-moving violation with no points and a minimal fine. Based on my experience, I would recommend them to someone who is concerned about avoiding points and black marks on their driving record.
