Iowa Drivers: The Effect of New York Traffic Convictions

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.

Iowa Will Count It Against You

New York and Iowa both signed the Driver License Compact, formally agreeing to share traffic ticket conviction information with each other.

Iowa’s official position on what it does when it receives that out-of-state information is very clear:

“Convictions for moving traffic violations in other states count against your driving record in determining what action the Iowa DOT will take concerning your driving privileges.”
— Iowa DOT

Treat New York Tickets Like Tickets at Home

This strict policy means that if a New York conviction would cause a suspension in Iowa had the violation occurred there, then the Iowan’s driver's license will be suspended directly by the state of Iowa.

For Iowa drivers, a traffic ticket received while visiting or passing through New York should be treated with the exact same level of seriousness as if it were received on their home roads.

Seth Azria and his team are the absolute BEST in the game. During the initial consultation Mr. Azria was very thorough in explaining the whole process and possible outcomes. The fees were VERY reasonable. The level of responsiveness was superb. Kudos to Monica as well!!!! - I appreciate all of your assistance. It’s never fun to get a ticket out of state. But thanks to this team, they turned a stressful incident into a quick, easy and painless situation. I would HIGHLY recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for an attorney in the area.

I am very pleased with Azria & Bruffet's services. Thanks to them I will not have to suffer from skyrocketing insurance rates due to a speeding ticket being put on my record. They kept me updated thoroughly every step of the way and made the entire process of getting my ticket reduced to a lesser charge very easy. They were also quick to respond to any questions I had throughout the process with a great deal of professionalism. I would not hesitate to deal with them in the future. Thank you Azria & Bruffet!!
