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.

Very Professional and Trustworthy!

I contacted Azria Law Office after receiving a speed ticket (+24 mph). Pleading guilty would automatically assign me 6 points + fines to the court, and fines to DMV for 3 years. In addition, my insurance premium would increase. Azria Law Office handled my case in a very professional manner. The charges for the law office is also reasonable. Afterwards my case was converted to no point and a fine below $150. I am much relieved now!

Excellent job done!!

Seth Azria saved me such heartache when I received a speeding ticket on Thanksgiving day...of all days of the year. 
Seth was able to negotiate a much lesser charge and fine and I am truly thankful!

Great Attorney!

My Husband and I received 3 moving violations between the 2 of us, within a month. All were reduced to 0 point non moving violations. My husband has a horrible driving record and would have lost his license without the help of Mr. Azria. He is the only attorney i trust with my traffic tickets. Over the past year and a half he has successfully handled 4 tickets for my family. Excellent!

I was very satisfied having them represent me on a speeding ticket. The process was seamless and very convenient. I highly recommend them and will not consider anyone else to represent me if I should ever land in any sticky situations again. They fight tirelessly for you and make it easy for you. They are great.
