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.

South Dakota Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

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

Idaho Drivers: Effect of New York Traffic Ticket Convictions

Idaho will record a New York conviction on a Idaho license according to their point system. Being convicted in New York is like being convicted on Idaho.

Would Recommend to Anyone

Seth Azria was recommended to me by a friend. I can't say enough about how well I was treated, his responsiveness, and how my case was handled. My first call to him was on 12/22/14 and we met the same day. My first and last date in court was 1/15/15. The outcome was better than I ever expected it could be and would recommend him to anyone.
