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.

Seth Azria immediately started work on my case. Made it easy for me to provide documents and info. Resolved my case with no points and a small fine. I am Extremely Grateful.

Exceeded every expectation!!!!

I hired Azria and Bruffet to help with a hefty speeding ticket I received in Cortlandville NY. I'll admit I was hesitant as it was my first time hiring someone to handle a ticket for me but I was at risk of losing my license and paying thousands in fines. I was shocked to find they greatly exceeded expectations, taking my 4+ point ticket down to a 0 point violation with miniscule fines. Also the process was simple and fast, I sent them my information and was required to do nothing else from the start to the closure of my case. I cannot thank them enough and would/do recommend them to anyone in need of help with a ticket!

Seth Azria and his team are great. He helped me reduce my 6 points speeding ticket to a no points, loud muffler violation. I highly recommend him.

The lawyer was extremely easy to work with. He guided properly on the process. I had a speeding ticket and advised about the “ Tioga traffic diversion program” that can help get the ticket dismissed.
