Delaware Drivers: Impact of New York Traffic Convictions

By Seth M. Azria, Esq.
The effect of New York Traffic Tickets on Delaware Drivers

1. Information Sharing Between NY and Delaware

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

Will I Get Points on My Delaware License?

Yes. Once notified, Delaware may record the conviction and assess points against your Delaware license according to Delaware’s point system.

2. Hidden New York DMV Fines

The Driver Responsibility Assessment

Even if you don't live in New York, the rules still apply to your driving privileges there. If the New York ticket carries 6 or more points, in addition to the court fine, the New York DMV will impose an additional fine called a Driver Responsibility Assessment.

I highly recommend Seth Azria and his team to anyone needing a traffic attorney in Upstate New York, especially if you are a Canadian or out-of-state driver.

I received a traffic ticket while passing through the area and was incredibly stressed about how to handle it. Seth was professional, transparent, and highly effective from day one. He clearly explained the process, answered all my questions promptly, and handled the entire process smoothly.

Best of all, he delivered exactly what he promised. If you are looking for an attorney who provides exceptional communication, true peace of mind, and outstanding results, hire Seth!"

Great experience, very efficient and timely. Got reduced to 0 points - they handled the entire process once receiving my documents. Highly recommend, especially if you live out of state.
