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.

I was very satisfied having them represent me on a speeding ticket. They kept me posted through out the process and made me at ease from the start as it would have been very difficult for me being out of state for this speeding ticket. Very Professional and I highly recommend them.
