Maryland Drivers: Impact of New York Traffic Convictions

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.

1. Most NY Convictions Are Not Likely Added to Your MD Record

Like New York, and most states in the United States, Maryland is a member of the Driver License Compact (“Compact”). Through this Compact, the member states share information about driver convictions and suspensions with other member states. The Maryland MVA will therefore add to a Maryland record for certain out-of-state violations as identified in the Compact.

Learn About the Driver License Compact

Severe Violations That Transfer:

  • Alcohol or drug-related offenses
  • Leaving the scene of a personal injury accident
  • Homicide or manslaughter involving a vehicle
  • Use of a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony

2. Hidden NY DMV Penalties

Even though a conviction in New York for speeding, for example, is not likely to incur points on a Maryland driving record, there are other consequences to be considered. Your ticket may cause the New York DMV to issue a Driver Responsibility Assessment, which can dramatically increase the expense associated with a particular conviction.

3. Insurance Premium Increases are Still a Concern

Rate Hikes: Most importantly, it is likely your insurance company will learn of your New York conviction and may increase your premiums or drop your coverage entirely. It remains highly important to mitigate the charge as much as possible.

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!

Ticket resolution

Mr. Seth Azria handled my case competently and efficiently. I did not have to appear in court, which made the entire process really painless. He was successful in negotiating a reduction of a speeding ticket to a no-point non-moving violation, for which I am truly grateful. Even though I had a very good record prior to the event, that ticket would have impacted my finances quite negatively. Thanks to Mr. Azria this did not happen.

I was stopped and was ticketed by a policeman that is affiliated with the Elbridge Town Court on Highway 90, while I was on my way from Syracuse to NYC. The violation that I was cited for had to do with not moving to another lane when I saw a police car stopped on the side lane. I contacted Mr. Seth Azria Esq, a Taffic Ticket attorney, who agreed to take my case before the court in efforts to prevent me from obtaining 2 point and high fine. I am glad to share that he and his staff were amazing in keeping me updated and even more in eliminating any points and reducing my penalty to a very resemble one. Thank you to the Azria Team !!!
