Idaho Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.

How Idaho ITD Handles New York Traffic Tickets

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

The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) receives records for moving violations that occur in Idaho as well as out-of-state jurisdictions and Canada. Once notified, Idaho will record the New York conviction and assess points against your license according to the Idaho Violation Point System .

Need Your Idaho Driving Record? Idaho-licensed drivers can request an official copy of their driving record directly through the ITD Driver Records & Suspensions Portal .

Insurance Premium Increases & NY DMV Assessments

Insurance Rate Increases: Importantly, your auto insurance carrier will likely learn of your New York conviction when pulling your updated Idaho MVR during policy renewal periods. Moving violation points frequently result in substantial annual premium hikes or the loss of preferred rate discounts.

NY DMV Driver Responsibility Assessment (DRA): Regardless of your home state license, the New York DMV maintains a shadow administrative record for all drivers. Accumulating 6 or more points in New York within an 18-month window triggers mandatory Driver Responsibility Assessment fees starting at $300 ($100/year for 3 years). Failure to pay will result in a suspension of your driving privileges in New York.

My experience with Seth Azria

I had multiple traffic tickets that included two misdemeanors, speeding, seat belt, expired inspection you name it I had it. Seth was very proficient, effective beyond my expectations, always returned my calls and kept me notified. I know almost nothing related to the law and he was was capable of explaining things in "normal English." I highly recommend him to anyone. On a 5 star scoring system, I rate him as a 10. Thank you Seth.

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.

Google Review

I am very pleased with the service provided by this law firm. Mr. Azria was very knowledgeable and professional dealing with the speeding ticket I had been charged with. The entire process was handle with full communication. Very professional, I would highly recommend.

Exceeded every expectation!!!!

I hired Azria and Bruffet to help with a hefty speeding ticket I received in Cortlandville NY. I'll admit I was hesitant as it was my first time hiring someone to handle a ticket for me but I was at risk of losing my license and paying thousands in fines. I was shocked to find they greatly exceeded expectations, taking my 4+ point ticket down to a 0 point violation with miniscule fines. Also the process was simple and fast, I sent them my information and was required to do nothing else from the start to the closure of my case. I cannot thank them enough and would/do recommend them to anyone in need of help with a ticket!
