South Dakota Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

by Seth Azria on 3/10/2023

If you receive a traffic conviction in New York State, South Dakota will be notified of the offense as both states are members of the Driver License Compact.  

South Dakota uses a points system, which assigns certain point values to different driving offenses and traffic violations.  Any driver who accrues 15 points in 12 consecutive months or 22 points in 24 consecutive months, is subject to suspension.  

Points are assessed on out-of-state-convictions just as if the violations were committed in South Dakota.

If you are a South Dakota driver and want to obtain a copy of your driving record, you may do so here.

Insurance Premium Increases are Still a Concern

Most importantly, it is likely your insurance company will learn of your New York conviction and may increase your premiums or drop coverage. It remains important to mitigate the charge as much as possible.

Minimize the Effect of All Traffic Tickets

Our goal at Azria & Bruffett is to minimize the effect of your New York traffic ticket both in New York and in your home state. One important point to keep in mind is that even if you are licensed in South Dakota, the New York State DMV will still fine you if you accumulate 6 points in any 18 month period - these fines are called a “Driver Responsibility Assessments.”

Seth is a good lawyer

Seth and his team helped me out with a speeding ticket I got in Cortland. He was professional and courteous. I spoke with him with-in a hour of leaving a message with his office. All future correspondence was via email, but he was available by phone. I worked with one of his staff members as well. My 31 mph over limit (6 pts) was reduced to non-speeding 2 pts fine. I highly recommend Seth and the Azria Law Firm.

I am satisfied with the outcome. I must say that Azria & Bruffett Law Firm help, support and guidance was very professional as well! I highly recommend Azria & Bruffett Law Firm , if you have any traffic speeding tickets in the NY state. I found his services remarkable. They delivered as promised. Thanks

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!
