Beginning with tickets issued after February 16, 2026, the New York DMV has increased points on many offenses and has adopted stricter rules for suspension. Here is what you should know.

How is Speeding Proved?

Words, in the form of sworn testimony, are evidence and therefore can prove a speeding or any other charge.

Stop Signs: What, Where and Who

Stop sign tickets are 3 points with a fine and surcharge up to $243. All drivers must stop, but not those acting involuntarily.

Seat Belts Tickets: Officer Observation and Testimony is Enough

An officer observing a failure to use a seat belt is enough to stop a car. To be convicted, that officer just has to testify about what he saw.

Flashing High Beams OK, Leaving Them On is Not

Flashing high beam headlights, alone, is not a violation of the law requiring dimming of headlights.

Wisconsin Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

While Wisconsin will not add points for most out-of-state infractions, if Wisconsin statutes require a mandatory suspension or revocation of the operating privilege, Wisconsin will take action.

West Virginia Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

made the process of reducing my charge painless and easy. highly recommend.

Best Lawyer in Syracuse!

I found Mr. Bruffett after calling several lawyers in Syracuse. I had 6 outstanding tickets that I completely blew off and forgot about until I was arrested in NYC over a suspended license. Mr. Bruffett was able to get ALL of my tickets reduced with NO POINTS and he also got 2 tickets dismissed. When I first met him, it was the most pleasant experience one could ask for. He's one of the few lawyers who actually cares about YOU and not your money. He quoted me an extremely reasonable amount for all 6 tickets. I never had to step foot into a court room and he has a great relationship with the DA and he was able to work something out that was in my best interest. I feel a huge relief knowing all of my tickets are over with, and I could not thank Mr. Bruffett enough. He also gave me his personal phone number and I was able to text and call him whenever I needed him. Before I even retained him, I had a question and texted him and he called me and walked me through the entire process. I highly recommend Mr. David Bruffett and his firm Azria & Bruffett. Thank you for everything David, and although I hope I never have to retain you again, if anything should ever happen, you'll be the first person I go to. 
Sincerely, Casey N.

Seth Azria and his team are the absolute BEST in the game. During the initial consultation Mr. Azria was very thorough in explaining the whole process and possible outcomes. The fees were VERY reasonable. The level of responsiveness was superb. Kudos to Monica as well!!!! - I appreciate all of your assistance. It’s never fun to get a ticket out of state. But thanks to this team, they turned a stressful incident into a quick, easy and painless situation. I would HIGHLY recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for an attorney in the area.
