Ohio Drivers: Impact of New York Traffic Convictions

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.

1. How a NY Ticket Affects Your Ohio License

The Good News & The Bad News: An Ohio driver convicted of a moving violation in New York will not acquire points on their Ohio license. However, the conviction will appear on your official Ohio driving record, where your insurance company might see it and consider it when calculating your rates.

2. The Hidden Threat: NYS Driver Responsibility Assessments

Regardless of the reaction by Ohio or your insurance company, points in New York add up fast, which leads to an expensive bill—no matter where you are licensed.

The 6-Point Rule

If you accumulate 6 points in any 18-month period, you will be charged a “Driver Responsibility Assessment” of $300 by the NY DMV, in addition to the original court fine—even with an Ohio license.
Example: A single conviction for speeding 86 mph in a 65 mph zone is a 6-point offense, instantly triggering this mandatory $300 assessment.

Google Review

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 !!!

Fantastic firm! I was traveling 3 hours away when I got a ticket and Azria & Bruffett took care of everything! I only had to answer a few emails! They were in constant contact with me throughout the entire process and got my ticket reduced to no points. I give them the highest recommendation!
