New York DMV Overhaul: More Points and Stricter Suspension Rules

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

Points are assessed for all traffic violations committed anywhere in the U.S. using the West Virginia point system. It is therefore important to minimize the effect of your New York ticket.

Texas Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

Texas will take action against their drivers for tickets received out-of-state.

Yelp Review

As a a 60 year old physician I am semi-retired and my wife and I travel the country to do work in my specialty at places that are shorthanded. Since I only work about 1/3 of the year we have time to drive to these places. Recently I was stopped on a highway in NY. I haven't had a speeding ticket since I was in my twenties. The officer said I was doing 81 in a 65 MPH zone (my reading 76 while trying to pass a slow moving vehicle with a line of cars behind me trying to get by me as well). I read the reviews and chose Attorney Azria.

The office staff was pleasant and efficient, and put me right through to Attorney Azria. He explained the process with perfect clarity and went to work. Although he explained the process could take 4-6 weeks he resolved the issue in 10 days, reducing the violation to a non-moving violation with a small fee and no points. His price was more than fair.

I've been lucky enough as a physician to have never been sued but doctors by nature do not have an affinity for lawyers. However, if you find yourself in need of one, it is hard to imagine someone better at their job than Attorney Azria. Thank you sir. If I could give you 6 stars out of 5 I would.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness

I was stopped by a NY state trooper for speeding on my way back to Canada right before the border crossing on I-81 in Mar. 2020. (Please be mindful about the signs of reducing speed. I didn't slow down quick enough). It was the first time I was stopped by a cop and I had no idea what I should do about this ticket. I searched on Google and decided to contact Mr. Azria. He was very nice to talk to and clarified all the questions I had regarding the ticket. In the end I did the online traffic safety training by Jefferson County. Mr. Azria helped me organize my correspondence with the DA and the court all the way through. I was quite fortunate to find him to fight the ticket for me. He and his assistant was very professional and knowledgeable. My charge was reduced to "failed to signal" and 2 points deduction. I appreciate the advice and help from Mr. Azria.

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.
