Ohio Drivers: Impact of New York Traffic Convictions

by Seth Azria on 11/03/2014

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 the Ohio driving record, where your insurance company might consider it.

Regardless of the reaction by Ohio or your insurance company, points in New York add up fast, which then leads to an expensive bill - no matter where you are licensed. If you accumulate 6 points in any 18 month period - you will be charged a “driver responsibility assessment” of $300 in addition to the original fine even with an Ohio licence.

For example, a single conviction for speeding 86 mph in a 65mph zone. Please check out our article on the NYS Driver Point System for a list of common traffic violations with points assigned and other relevant information for traffic violations.

If you have been ticketed in New York, do not plead guilty, call (315) 364-1155 to speak to an attorney in order to minimize the impact of that ticket in NY and at home.

Atty Azria explained my real situation and my real choices to me with regard to a moving violation charge in central new york. He then worked to reduce the charges to a no-point non-moving violation. I am extremely happy with these results and would very strongly recommend his firm to everyone.

Making this short and simple: I had over 15 traffic infractions/violations for driving without a license, speeding and among other serious infractions. Needless to say , Ralph took care of this all for me and I ended up just paying fines for the traffic tickets - Also , I'm a licensed driver now! 

Thanks a lot Ralph for your service , I would recommend anyone who gets in trouble with the law to first contact Ralph Habib.

Azria & Bruffet were superb in handling a speeding ticket for me. They were specific and prompt on the information they needed and were able to reduce the charge against me with no headache from my side. If you are worried about any larger traffic violation that may cost a lot or suspend your license they are certainly the firm to go with as they take care of everything.
