Nevada Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.

How Nevada DMV Handles New York Traffic Tickets

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

While out-of-state convictions become part of your official Nevada driving record, Nevada DMV rules state that out-of-state traffic convictions do not generate demerit points on your Nevada driver's license.

Insurance Premium Increases & NY DMV Assessments

Insurance Rate Increases: Even though Nevada does not add demerit points for out-of-state violations, your auto insurance carrier will likely see the New York conviction on your Nevada record during routine renewal checks. Moving violation convictions frequently lead to substantial annual premium surcharges or the loss of safe driver discounts.

NY DMV Driver Responsibility Assessment (DRA): Regardless of your home state license, the New York DMV maintains a shadow administrative record for all out-of-state 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.

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.

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.

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.
