Flashing High Beams OK, Leaving Them On is Not

by Seth Azria on 12/27/2023

Failure to dim headlights is a 2 -point offense with a maximum fine of $150 plus a $93 surcharge. If you were charged with this violation, a critical fact will be if you flashed the high beams or left them on for oncoming traffic.

Just flashing high beam headlights, alone, is not a violation of the law requiring dimming of headlights to prevent dazzling light from interfering with oncoming motorists. Vehicle and Traffic Law ยง 375(3), People v. Rose, 67 A.D.3d 1447 (4th Dep't 2009).

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.
