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.

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.

Seth stands by his work and gets results

From the first phone conversation with Seth in regard to my ticket for allegedly operating an electronic device I knew I had the right attorney. He assured me I had the best in the area and he was proven right when my ticket was dismissed by the judge. The process to collect as much positive information from a client like myself to go to bat for me has proven that he is an experienced professional and willing to go the distance for his clients. I couldn't be happier.

I highly recommend Seth Azria if you have a traffic ticket that you need taken care of. I called, left a message and got a return call back from him within an hour. Information was exchanged, a fee agreed upon and he took things from there. He provided excellent communication during each step of the process and the whole matter was settled within two months. I will definitely call him again if the need arises.

The office handled my speeding case effectively and obtained an outcome that did not put any points on my license. I would recommend this firm to anyone with a similar case.
